ARSENAL THREW away another two-goal lead and missed the chance to go six points clear...
In an almost carbon copy of last week’s game against Liverpool, the Gunners' came out firing with two early goals but were pegged back having conceded a penalty just before the break
West Ham began with a 4-2-3-1 formation but with eight changes from the team that drew 1-1 with Ghent three days ago in the Europa Conference League, while Arsenal stayed with their trusted 4-3-3 set up and welcomed back Kieran Tierney into the side after Oleksandr Zinchenko was ruled out. But the Hammers, who secured a crucial away 1-0 away victory against Fulham last week, finally rallied and when Thomas Partey lost the ball in midfield, captain Declan Rice charged through on goal and passed to Lucas Paqueta who was clumsily brought down in the box by Gabriel. Referee David Coote awarded the penalty and Said Benrahma coolly slotted in to reduce the deficit to 2-1.
And they were once again quickest out of the blocks and awarded a spot kick straight after the restart when Martinelli’s shot hit Michail Antonio’s left hand. After a quick VAR check, Bukayo Saka, who had scored both of his penalties this season, stepped up – but missed!
