West Ham steal Arsenal chance to reflect on St Totteringham's Day reality with one-point promise

Sunday was a drab and dreary day in the end for Arsenal who lost control of a 2-0 lead for the second time in the space of eight days. Not only did it damage the Gunners title chances but it stole the chance of a very early celebration of St Totteringham’s Day.

In a season where the Premier League title is on the line, finishing above Tottenham, which is where the aforementioned day comes from, is hardly in the minds of many supporters. However, the point did mean that Arsenal are just one more away from confirming a finish above their north London rivals this season.

It will be the first time in six seasons, believe it or not, that Arsenal have managed it. In that period Tottenham went on to win a grand total of zero trophies despite having their star striker Harry Kane and world-class winger Son Heung-min in their forward line combined with two Premier League-winning coaches Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.
