Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has refused to concede that the Premier League title is Manchester United’s to lose, despite seeing his side surrender a 3-1 lead to draw with Tottenham at White Hart Lane.

The Gunners had been leading 3-1 thanks to goals from Theo Walcott, Samir Nasri and Robin van Persie, but a Tom Huddlestone thunderbolt and Rafael van der Vaart penalty saw Arsene Wenger’s men drop two points.

It was Szczesny who brought down Aaron Lennon to concede the penalty for Tottenham’s leveller, and the Poland international admitted the referee was right to point to the spot.

“It was probably a bit disappointing for me to give it away but it was a good decision by the referee. I was committed, he got to the ball first and I brought him down, so it was a good decision, but as I said, from my view, very disappointing to give it away,” he told Sky Sports.

However, the 21-year-old refused to concede that the result leaves Arsenal out of the title race, and insisted he thought Manchester United would drop more points before the end of the season.

“No I don’t think so. I’m confident that they are going to drop points and we just have to focus on getting the three points every time we play for the rest of the season now. And if we manage to win every single game and we manage to beat them at home, it could be very interesting in the end.”
