Wenger: Title race still open

Arsène Wenger has said that his team's victory over Manchester United blew the title race wide open.

United would have opened up a nine point gap at the top of the table if they had gone on to win at the Emirates but goals from Robin van Persie and Thierry Henry ensured that United's lead remained at six points.

Wenger said: "Well it will open it up for everybody, for us a little bit less than Liverpool - but, you never know.

"I feel with ten minutes to go Man United were certainly, maybe champions, but at the end of the game you cannot say that now, it's more open again.

"It's good that we are one-nil down at the Emirates and we can win, and it's good for the interest of the Premiership because everybody still has a chance.

"Maybe we have less than the others but we'll fight for every game now and just try to win every game."
