English Premier League table leaders Arsenal missed a penalty and threw away a two-goal lead as they drew 2-all against West Ham.

A goal each by Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard's put them ahead in the opening 10 minutes but the side could not hold on to their advantage and dropped valuable points in their title battle with Manchester City.

Said Benrahma's and Jarrod Bowen's scored a goal each for West Ham.

West Ham, still 15th in the table but now four points above the relegation zone, could have won it when Antonio's header bounced off the crossbar in a frantic finish.

Arsenal began the weekend six points clear of Manchester City, but that has now been cut to four after City won 3-1 against Leicester yesterday.

Meanwhile, Manchester United has moved up to third on the League table after beating Nottingham Forest 2-0.
