Arsenal’s Premier League title challenge suffered a significant setback as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to West Ham.
The loss, combined with Manchester United’s dramatic 2-2 draw at Everton, has left Arsenal eight points adrift of leaders Liverpool.
The Gunners, who were reduced to 10 men after Myles Lewis-Skelly’s sending off, were unable to respond to Jarrod Bowen’s first-half header. The defeat is a significant blow to Arsenal’s title hopes, and they will need to regroup quickly to stay in contention.
Meanwhile, Manchester United staged a stunning late comeback to earn a 2-2 draw at Everton. The Toffees had dominated the first half, with goals from Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure giving them a deserved two-goal lead.
However, United fought back in the second half, with Bruno Fernandes scoring a free-kick and Manuel Ugarte driving home a powerful equalizer. The draw spares United manager Ruben Amorim the ignominy of a ninth league defeat in 13 matches.
