Man City lost, Arsenal also drew their second consecutive match in the Premier League.

With assistance from MU, Arsenal again could only claim a single point away at Nottingham Forest in the 22nd round of the Premier League.

As the Premier League title race reaches its most intense phase, Arsenal was given a golden opportunity when their rival Man City stumbled with a 0-2 defeat to MU in the Manchester derby.

The door to create a safe gap was wide open, yet the "Gunners" faced a turbulent trip to City Ground. There, a Nottingham Forest desperate for points to avoid relegation showed a very resilient and disciplined performance, directly dashing the ambitions of coach Mikel Arteta’s team to push forward.

Throughout the 90 minutes, Arsenal controlled the game but were incredibly unlucky in front of the opponent’s goal. Clear-cut chances kept slipping away from the feet of their top attacking stars. Gabriel Martinelli disappointed with a missed close-range shot in the 28th minute, while Viktor Gyokeres, despite having a one-on-one opportunity, could not overcome the determined defense of center-back Murillo.

Even when the "secret weapon" Bukayo Saka was brought on from the bench to change the game, the brilliance of goalkeeper Matz Sels with spectacular saves kept all Arsenal’s efforts limited to chances.

The goalless draw forced Arsenal to leave with deep regret after wasting a "gift" from Manchester. While Nottingham Forest deserved praise for earning a valuable point through steel-like discipline, the "Gunners" made their path to the title more difficult.

The attacking struggles at a crucial moment were not only a disappointing draw but also a stark warning about the London club’s resilience under the invisible pressures of a fierce title race.

Coach Carrick: 'Beating Man City isn’t enough, MU still face a big test against Arsenal.'

With many rivals watching, Arsenal accelerates pursuit of the 'Brazilian gem'.
