Arsenal player ratings vs West Ham: Bukayo Saka the fall guy but Thomas Partey and Gabriel Magalhaes the biggest FLOPS as Gunners lose control of the title race

Dropping two points from being 2-0 up when you're in a tight title race once is careless, but doing it twice in the space of seven days is downright reckless, and Arsenal will be wondering just how they lift themselves now after being held by West Ham.

As they did at Liverpool last time out, the Gunners came out of the traps quickly, and were two goals up inside 10 minutes after close-range finishes from Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard.

Costly errors from Thomas Partey and Gabriel Magalhaes, however, led to West Ham winning a penalty, and once Said Benrahma converted from 12 yards, the momentum turned.

Arsenal did spurn the chance to go 3-1 up when Bukayo Saka fired wide from the penalty spot early in the second half, and just moments later they were pegged back when Jarrod Bowen volleyed in from the edge of the box.

The result leaves Arsenal four points clear of Manchester City, who have a game in hand, but Pep Guardiola's side now know that winning the remainder of their matches will assure them of a fifth league title in six seasons.
