Arsenal are on the brink of blowing their Premier League title challenge after letting a two-goal lead slip for the second straight game, this time drawing at West Ham United.
A month ago, the Gunners looked an unstoppable force, fast becoming known as the comeback kings. Now, the opposite: as the pressure ramps up and the margin for error decreases, these players are starting like a house on fire and ending hosed down.
It was a collision of master and apprentice as Mikel Arteta faced his former Everton boss in David Moyes, with the Arsenal manager looking to re-open a six-point lead over another of his mentors in Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola.
The cross-capital trip should have been a simple one for Arsenal, with the Irons in the thick of a relegation battle and with a horrendous record in this fixture. But it wasn’t — at least, not for the last 60 minutes.
Arsenal cruised into a two-goal lead within 10 minutes, as a shell-shocked West Ham looked out of place on the same field. Bukayo Saka and Thomas Partey toyed with the home backline on the edge of the box, before the switch was flipped and a throughball arrived at the feet of Ben White. He squared it for Gabriel Jesus to tap in to an empty net.
The second was similarly easy for the league leaders. Gabriel Martinelli took a second bite of the cherry from the left, swinging a cross into an onrushing Martin Odegaard at the back post. He made no mistake, slotting past Lukasz Fabianski first time. It marked a 10th goal contribution in nine games for Martinelli, who has come up clutch in this title run-in.
Partey had a rare lapse as he was dispossessed by Rice, who played it to Lucas Paqueta in the box. Compatriot Gabriel, who until that point had snuffed out every attack, went in for a sliding challenge but tried to pull out — however, his knees still took out the playmaker and a penalty was awarded. Said Benrahma, who also scored from the spot at Emirates Stadium in December, converted.
Four minutes into the second half, Arsenal were gifted a chance to restore their two-goal advantage, with Michail Antonio being called for handball on a shot from Martinelli — slightly harsh, given how close he was to the effort.
Saka couldn’t capitalise, though. The England international blazed his penalty wide to his left, missing from the spot for the first time since the Euro 2020 final. Stratford erupted — and then did again three minutes later.
A clearance from a West Ham throw seemed to have the Gunners well out of danger, with Thilo Kehrer lofting a hopeful ball over the visiting defence and back into the penalty area. It fell to Jarrod Bowen, running in from the right, who put it past Aaron Ramsdale to draw level. For the second time in a week, Arsenal had thrown away a 2-0 lead on the road.

Report and free match highlights as Conor Gallagher and Cole Palmer gave Chelsea a 2-0 lead inside 20 minutes; Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes hauled Man Utd level before the break; Garnacho then saw Man Utd ahead; Palmer scored two last-gasp goals to seal Chelsea win
Cole Palmer scored in the 100th and 101st minute as Chelsea secured an epic and extraordinary 4-3 win against Manchester United.
Man Utd were leading in this game at 99 minutes and 17 seconds – the latest a side has ever led in a Premier League match they have gone on to lose. It is also the second time in less than a week that Man Utd have lost a lead in added time.
Erik ten Hag’s side now have just three days in which to pick themselves up from the shattering defeat before facing fierce rivals Liverpool on Super Sunday.
Video: Moment of magic from Martin Odegaard leads to Arsenal opener
Arsenal have opened the scoring in their huge Champions League match with FC Porto as the Gunners level the tie at 1-1.
Mikel Arteta’s team needed to score first having been 1-0 down from the first leg and a second would have made life very difficult for the North London club to progress.
That came just before halftime when some beautiful footwork from Martin Odegaard led to the Norweigan playing in Leandro Trossard.
The Belgian star remained composed and finished clinically as Arsenal will now turn up the heat in search of a second.

Manchester City have a taken the lead at Anfield from a brilliantly rehearsed corner.
Kevin de Bruyne whips in a low cross from the corner towards the front post, where Nathan Ake cleverly blocked Alexis Mac Allister to allow Stones to sneak into the six-yard box and slot it past Kelleher.
This early strike from the champions deals a significant blow to Liverpool, who will now have to come back from behind to grab anything from this match.
