EPL: Arsenal held to draw at Man Utd after Chelsea beat Leicester
Declan Rice scored an equaliser as Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw by Manchester United in a Premier League clash on Sunday.
The 74th-minute strike secured a point for Arsenal but did little to help their pursuit of Premier League pacesetters Liverpool.
Arsenal dominated the opening 45 minutes at Old Trafford but lacked any cutting edge and were punished in first-half stoppage time.
United captain Bruno Fernandes curled a 25-yard free-kick past a badly positioned David Raya in goal, to put the hosts ahead before the break.

Late on, the Red Devils failed to clear and Rice sent a superb rising drive past Andre Onana to give Arsenal a point – but the result dented their pursuit of the title.
Earlier in the day, Chelsea defeated Leicester City 1-0 while Tottenham Hotspur came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Bournemouth.
