Title race is wide open, insists Wenger

Arsene Wenger insisted the title race remains wide open after Arsenal’s scoreless draw with Manchester United moved Wenger’s side to within one point of leaders Chelsea.

The failure to beat United meant Wenger’s side missed out on the chance to go top, but after the heavy weekend defeat at Liverpool, the Frenchman was pleased by his side’s response.

“It was important not to lose tonight,” he said. “We have had two difficult games at Liverpool and now at home to Manchester United but we can now look forward to other games. The title race is absolutely open.”
