MANCHESTER, England -- Declan Rice scored a crucial equaliser and then produced a goal-saving tackle to deny Rasmus Højlund a late winner to keep Arsenal's faint Premier League title hopes alive in a 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The second-placed Gunners now sit 15 points behind runaway leaders Liverpool, albeit with a game in hand and a trip to Anfield still to come on May 10, so their title dream is hanging by a thread. But Rice's 74th-minute goal, which cancelled out Bruno Fernandes's first-half strike from a free kick, and his last-ditch challenge on Højlund on 84 minutes meant that Arsenal avoided the defeat that would surely have ended their title hopes.
