In a tense Premier League clash at Old Trafford on Sunday, March 9, 2025, Arsenal’s pursuit of the league title hit a frustrating roadblock after a 1-1 draw against Manchester United side.

The result leaves Mikel Arteta’s men searching for momentum at a critical juncture in the season, as they struggle to keep pace with the frontrunners, Liverpool.

The Gunners started brightly, dominating possession and carving out early chances, but it was Manchester United who struck first against the run of play.

A cleverly worked move in the 45th minute saw Bruno Fernandes curl a pinpoint free-kick into the top corner, leaving Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya with no chance.

Arsenal responded with intent after the break, piling pressure on United’s defence. Their persistence paid off in the 74th minute when Declan Rice found the back of the net, levelling the score and giving the travelling fans hope of a late winner.

Despite late chances for both sides, neither team could find the decisive blow. The draw marks another setback for Arsenal, who have now dropped points in two of their last three matches.

For Manchester United, the result offers a glimmer of progress under Amorim, with their grit and organization earning them a valuable point against one of the league’s heavyweights.
