Arsenal's slim hopes of a Premier League triumph were dealt another blow on Sunday despite Declan Rice securing a 1-1 draw for Mikel Arteta's side on the day of Manchester United's protest.
The Gunners cannot afford to make a mistake with their title chances hanging by a thread, but failing to match Liverpool's success yesterday leaves them hoping for a miracle with 10 games to go.
Arsenal are 15 points behind the leaders after Rice cancelled out Bruno Fernandes' free-kick, while United have come back from a tough start despite missing 11 Arsenal players and Ruben Amorim just wanting to 'survive'.
The toothless visitors failed to convert their first-half lead into a first goal in Arteta's 200th Premier League game, with Fernandes giving the Red Devils the lead from a stoppage-time free-kick.
David Raya made key saves before and after Rice's equaliser for Arsenal as a quiet first period gave way to a turbulent second half.
Anti-Glazer chants were heard from the start, while a group of 1958 United fans staged the biggest protest since 2022.
Thousands marched on Old Trafford and director Edward Glazer witnessed the fury from the stands, where the disgruntled co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe was also present.
Arsenal started the match aggressively and Mikel Merino came close to opening the scoring early, but they dominated possession passively as they lacked the cutting edge that the injured Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus could have brought.
