The Gunners saw their title hope slip further away after they dropped point in back to back games in the Premier League.
Following the draw, Mikel Arteta’s men went 13 points behind leaders Liverpool, who defeated Newcastle 2-0 on Wednesday.
Despite Arsenal's devastating injury situation, Liverpool has unquestionably been the superior team and appears poised to win a record-tying 20th Premier League title.
Trouble among Arsenal players
Tempers flared after the final whistle as Rice and Gabriel were involved in a heated exchange following the draw.
The video of the moment between both players was shared on X with the caption, “What's happening at Arsenal? Here is Gabriel with Rice.”

As the players left the field, the two Arsenal stars appeared to be discussing a moment from the game, with Rice gesturing animatedly.
Gabriel seemed to be offended by what his teammate said, responding with apparent disagreement, before they seemed to calm down and part ways amicably.
It is understandable to feel disappointed after a lackluster draw, especially following the poor performance against West Ham over the weekend.
This disappointment is further compounded by the realization that the Gunners' pursuit of an English title will extend into another year.
