Must Read

League leader Arsenal threw away two goals lead on Sunday to draw 2-2 at West Ham, making their lead at the top slimmer with Manchester City having a game to play.

Arsenal had last week led by two goals at Liverpool, but they they blew it up as Liverpool came back to equalise.

If Manchester City win their outstanding match, Arsenal will only be one point ahead, with a deciding clash at the Etihad Stadium against City.

The Gunners opened scoring in just seven minutes into the game. Ben White sprayed a pass out to Gabriel Jesus and he had an easy job to slot the ball into an empty net.

Three minutes later, Gabriel Martinelli sent a precise lofted cross into the box. Martin Odegaard latched on to it and finished with a quick low shot into the middle of the goal to make it 0-2.

West Ham pulled one back from the penalty spot on 33 minutes. Mohamed Said Benrahma sent the penalty kick low into the right of the net.

Bukayo Saka missed an opportunity to make it 1-3 for the visitors from the penalty spot but he threw it away. His shot went just wide of the left post.

Arsenal paid for not converting the penalty kick as West Ham levelled with a superb finish. Jarrod Bowen latched on to a stunning cross inside the box and slammed it past the helpless goalkeeper on 55 minutes to make it 2-2.
