EPL: Mkhitaryan reveals Arsenal’s Premier League target after draw with Man United
Arsenal midfielder, Henrikh Mkhitaryan has disclosed his side’s Premier League target following their 2-2 draw with Manchester United in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Goals from Shkodran Mustafi and Marcos Rojo (own goal) ensured Emery’s men drew against the Red Devils at Old Trafford.
However, Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard did score for the hosts.
Mkhitaryan has admitted that the main target of Unai Emery’s side this season was to get into the top-four on the Premier League log after finishing sixth last term.
“There is a lot of frustration because we should have won today,” Mkhitaryan told Arsenal Media.
“I think we deserved to win but we drew. We were trying to score the third goal but unfortunately we couldn’t.
“Even if you have tired legs, the most important thing is to be fresh in the brain, in the mind.
“If you force yourself, if you push yourself to get to the end, then you will do that.
“You don’t have to listen to your legs, even if they are heavy or it’s hard to play. You have to do the maximum.
“Maybe that’s the positive [remaining unbeaten] to take from tonight, maybe it’s not.
“Everyone wanted to win today, especially at Old Trafford. We know that it’s always hard to win here.
“At the end of the day, we’re also happy to get this point and try to win the next games.
“We want to be in the top four, so it’s very important to win every game.”
Arsenal will now tackle Huddersfield on Saturday in the Premier League fixture.
