In a post-match interview following Arsenal’s frustrating 1-1 draw with Fulham, captain Martin Ødegaard expressed his disappointment but reaffirmed the team’s focus on their own performance rather than the competition. He acknowledged that while Arsenal dominated possession for most of the game, their lack of energy in the first half and failure to break down Fulham’s defense were key issues. Despite this setback, Ødegaard emphasized that Arsenal is not overly concerned with the other teams in the Premier League title race, particularly Liverpool, who remain in the lead.
Arsenal’s failure to capitalize on Liverpool’s rare slip-up at St. James’ Park left them six points behind the league leaders, while Manchester City is also trailing by eight points. Ødegaard’s comments underline Arsenal’s commitment to improving their own form as they continue their pursuit of the title, despite the missed opportunity.
As the race for the Premier League intensifies, Liverpool’s rescheduled Merseyside derby and Tottenham’s upcoming clash with Chelsea could further shape the title picture. The Gunners, however, are determined to keep pushing forward without being distracted by other teams’ results.
