Goalless draw at the Emirates Stadium sees Solskjaer's side sit three points behind leaders Manchester City

Powered by automated translation

Manchester United only marginally closed the gap on Premier League leaders Manchester City on Saturday after being held to a goalless draw at Arsenal.

Trailing by four points ahead of kick-off following City's earlier win over Sheffield United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side reduced the deficit to three, but will be leapfrogged by third-placed Leicester City if they beat Leeds United on Sunday.

Following the shock loss to bottom side Sheffield United in midweek, a trip to Arsenal could have been a chance for United to bounce straight back, particularly with the Gunners missing three of their key players. Bukayo Saka and Kieran Tierney were both absent through injury, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang missed out due to Covid protocols.

Ultimately, neither side could find the breakthrough, although United set a new club record of 18 away games unbeaten in the league while Arsenal, eighth on 31 points, have not lost in seven matches since Christmas.
