The situation worsened for the Gunners as Liverpool comfortably defeated Newcastle United 2-0 at Anfield, extending their lead at the top of the table to 13 points with only 11 matches remaining in the season.
In light of these results, fans noticed a heated argument between two of Arsenal’s star players following the disappointing draw against Forest.
With Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli, and star player Bukayo Saka all sidelined due to injury, Arsenal had to rely on Mikel Merino up front against Forest.
Despite the efforts of the Spaniard and his teammates, the frustrations of Declan Rice and Gabriel Magalhaes were evident as they were seen arguing while leaving the pitch on Wednesday evening.
After the final whistle, fans observed Rice shouting at the Brazilian defender as they exited the field in a heated exchange.
The England midfielder’s late free kick hitting the first man might have been the subject of their post-match discussion.
Before the match, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta acknowledged their attacking issues, attributing their struggle to injuries and suspensions that have hindered their Premier League title campaign this season.
“I think we have made big strides this season,” revealed the Spanish manager.
“Big time. Because we should be in a very different position with everything that has happened.
“There is not a team in Premier League history with five red cards and the amount of injuries that we have that are in the position that we are today. It’s one of my proudest moments but this group could have gone (signals downhill).
“That (the title) will be decided at the end of the season. We have to understand the circumstances that we had as well and we are still where we are. We are not here to justify anything, we are here to win.”
