This time they left themselves with too much to do.
Arsenal at least salvaged a draw from the jaws of defeat but their title challenge is unraveling in front of our eyes. From 3-1 down and heading to a humiliating defeat against the Premier League ’s bottom club, Arsenal suddenly came to life as Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka gave the Emirates hope.
They recovered from 2-0 down against Bournemouth last month to win 3-2 but now it appears Arsenal have well and truly lost their nerve and could not pull off another miracle. Instead, Arsenal’s players slumped to the floor at the final whistle, they had blown the chance to go seven points clear before next Wednesday’s trip to Manchester City.
