Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice struck a tone of resilience and belief after the Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw by Brentford on Wednesday night, insisting that avoiding defeat could prove crucial in the title race.
Speaking after the match, Rice emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum at the top of the table. “If you can’t win a game, don’t lose. We’re still four points clear at the top,” the England international said, reflecting a calm but determined mindset within the squad.
The draw came as a slight setback for Arsenal, who had hoped to extend their lead and continue their strong run of form. However, Rice highlighted the bigger picture, underlining that consistency and mentality will be decisive in the closing stages of the season.
“And, you know, the thing is that we’ve got to keep looking forward. We’ve got another game next week. So, yeah, positive,” he added, signaling that the team remains focused on what lies ahead rather than dwelling on dropped points.
