| Cristiano Ronaldo celebrating his goal |
Arsenal has set a new club record 记录 of 25 games unbeaten after their 2-2 draw against Manchester United at the Emirates stadium. The draw means they remain on top of the Premier League.
The first goal for Man U came from Arsenal's William Gallas when Wayne Rooney's tame 无力（射门） shot became his own goal 乌龙球.
Arsenal was not discouraged and Fabregas put Arsenal level 把比分扳平 2 minutes later with his 11th goal of the season, proving that he is becoming a pivotal 关键的 player in the team.
The Spanish star said of his team's fighting spirit:
"We don't give up and are very strong physically. Everyone could see we are a team which fights to the last second. With other teams, maybe they can't follow it through （将某事）进行到底 until the end."

Man U were back in the lead when Ronaldo scored with only 9 minutes left, but Arsenal did not give up 放弃. Gallas scored in injury time and salvaged 挽回 the game for his side, making up for 弥补 his earlier own goal.
But the Manchester boss, Alex Fergusson was not happy with the result and accused referee, Howard Webb, of favouring the home side 主队.
"I think Howard Webb has a great chance to be the top referee but today was a big game for him and, at times, he favoured 偏向 Arsenal,"
"Their second goal came from him not giving a free-kick for a foul 犯规 on Louis Saha. It should've been a foul for us''.
He blamed the crowd's behaviour saying "It is very difficult for the referee," he added. "On our bench 板凳, we were getting terrible abuse 侮辱 from people two or three feet away from us''.

Overall though, I believe it was a fair result. We are still in charge of the title race because we are top with a game in hand.
