VIRGIL VAN DIJK FRUSTRATED WITH A POINT THAT GIVES ARSENAL HOPE IN TITLE RACE

"Obvously we are disappointed [not to win], but we fought and had chances to win the game," he told TNT Sports on the pitch following the 2-2 draw at Villa Park.

"We took risks at the end and were more open at times. We take the point and move on; we focus on a big one at the weekend [Man City] again.

"We tried everything tonight and unfortunately [it was] not enough for the three points.

"Credit to Aston Villa today, they made it very difficult for us. Now we have to move on to the next one."

On talk of title jitters and giving Arsenal hope, he added: "This is the Premier League; it’s physical for everyone, Aston Villa - and everyone. We have a tough one on the weekend [at Man City], and Newcastle after it.

"Our focus will now be on Man City. A very difficult game, but we have to fight every second on the pitch to win games and get points on the board.

"That’s the only task we have, to focus on ourselves. It’s never easy. That’s the only way to get success, is to focus on yourself and do everything in your power to win games.

"Unfortunately we could not do that today. [For the City game] We need everyone in the best shape, ourselves and the fans."
