Arsenal saw their Premier League title charge take a significant hit as the Gunners let a two-goal lead slip for the second consecutive weekend. Goals from Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard put Mikel Arteta's side in control, but in a repeat of the clash with Liverpool, the league leaders failed to add to their lead and instead dropped two points in the title race.
At Anfield last Sunday, Gabriel Martinelli and Jesus put Arsenal in command but goals from Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino meant the Gunners had to settle for a point. Once again, in an away league fixture, Arsenal were two-up early on before their opponents pulled one back before half time with Said Benrahma netting from the penalty spot.
Against Jurgen Klopp's men, Arsenal were let off the hook as Salah missed a penalty but one week later it was Bukayo Saka who missed from 12 yards. Minutes later, Jarrod Bowen levelled the game while Michail Antonio could have put the Hammers in front late on but his close-range header struck the post.
