The immediate aftermath of a result which did not fall in the way of the Gunners was always going to see the emotion and fiery responses. It also brings plenty of hyperbole and the overreaction toward individuals, in particular, can boil over and cross lines.
Arsenal’s draw with West Ham United was the second instance of the Gunners dropping points in consecutive games for only the second time in the season. In comparison, Manchester City have not yet dropped points in consecutive games all season.
The two draws both featured the stand-in right-sided centre-half Rob Holding. The experienced Arsenal defender has been performing in place of William Saliba who has missed the last four matches with a back injury suffered against Sporting CP prior to the international break.
