Arsenal's challenge remains the same after Forest draw - Arteta
- Published
Arsenal's season is still alive and their draw at Nottingham Forest changes nothing, says boss Mikel Arteta.
The second-placed Gunners fell 13 points behind leaders Liverpool after Wednesday's 0-0 draw, as they failed to score for a second successive game.
They face PSV in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday but their Premier League titles hopes appear over, especially after Liverpool's 2-0 win over Newcastle.
Arteta said: "It's about what we can do. It was like this a week before, two weeks before, three months before. Today we dropped two points which is very painful, we have the Champions League, a beautiful competition in front of us.
"I'm very disappointed not to win, the standard was different to the previous game [a 1-0 defeat to West Ham] with the energy and the willingness to make things happen.
"We dominated the game, apart from one experience in the second half and one or two giveaways which allowed them to run. Apart from that nothing. When we opened them up we lacked the quality in the final pass and delivery and be more efficient."
