'Every year' - Arsenal fans spot recurring Mikel Arteta problem as title charge takes major hit

Arsenal saw their Premier League title bid take another hit as the Gunners dropped two points against West Ham at London Stadium on Sunday. Last weekend, Mikel Arteta's men were also pegged back from a winning position by Liverpool and these two results have seen Man City close the gap at the top to four points.

The visitors scored twice in the first five minutes with quick-fire strikes from Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard, but Said Benrahma pulled one back before half time from the penalty spot. Bukayo Saka was then gifted a superb chance to restore the two-goal cushion from 12 yards after a hand ball by Michail Antonio but the English winger fired his spot kick wide of the target.

Just a few minutes later, Jarrod Bowen came up with the equaliser after latching onto a superb ball over the Arsenal backline. Arteta made numerous changes, which included a return for Eddie Nketiah, but the league leaders could not find a winner.
