The Gunners lost 2-1 to Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday.

Ryan Cherki opened the scoring for the hosts, but Kai Havertz levelled a minute later.

With Arsenal going close to taking the lead, Erling Haaland netted the winner.

The result saw City go three points behind Arsenal and they could go top with a win at Burnley in midweek.

With five games left to play, Rooney believes Mikel Arteta’s men cannot be written off.

He said: “This title race is not over yet, I still feel like there are some more twists and turns to come.

“It is is obviously going to be tight but City have got one more game to try to win, so I still have Arsenal down as slight favourites.”
