Mikel Arteta has revealed his concern regarding Arsenal's recent inabilities to hold onto two-goal leads after another collapse occurred against West Ham on Sunday. Despite flying into a lead in the seventh minute through Gabriel Jesus with Martin Odegaard doubling that advantage three minutes later, the Gunners will be heading back to north London with just one point.
The collapse against David Moyes's side comes seven days after throwing away the same lead to Liverpool at Anfield. Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli were the duo on target that afternoon but goals from Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino saw the game finish level.
A penalty from Said Benrahma brought the Hammers back into the game, but Bukayo Saka had the chance to restore the two-goal lead from the penalty spot. However, despite scoring from 12 yards in crucial moments against Liverpool and Manchester City, the 21-year-old fired wide.
