Arsenal Title Bid Fades After Man Utd Draw As Chelsea Go Fourth

Arsenal's fading hopes of winning the Premier League suffered a fresh blow as Manchester United held the Gunners to a 1-1 draw, while Chelsea boosted their bid to qualify for the Champions League with a 1-0 win over Leicester on Sunday.

After Liverpool's 3-1 win against Southampton moved the leaders 16 points clear at the top on Saturday, there was no margin for error when Arsenal arrived at Old Trafford 24 hours later.

But United captain Bruno Fernandes put the hosts ahead with a superb free-kick in first half stoppage-time.

Declan Rice's clinical finish from just inside the United area hauled Arsenal level in the 74th minute.

But Mikel Arteta's second-placed side couldn't find a winner and now sit 15 points adrift of Liverpool.
