It was a case of history repeating itself as the Premier League leaders let another two-goal lead slip and dropped valuable points for the second week in a row. A 2-2 draw with West Ham on Sunday followed the same score line against Liverpool seven days earlier.
It's a costly habit to pick up, especially at a time when the wins are rolling in for second-place Manchester City.
On both occasions Arsenal was cruising. But at the London Stadium, just like at Anfield, the Londoners unraveled when under pressure. That was until Said Benrahma's penalty in the 33rd set up a fightback and Jarrod Bowen equalized in the 54th.Even after dropping four points in two games, Arsenal remains four points clear of City having played a game more. But its lead over City was eight points less than a month ago.Arsenal plays City at Etihad Stadium in a pivotal game on April 26 and Arteta must hope the wounding recent results will not be too damaging to his players' confidence.
Victory saw United take advantage in the race for Champions League qualification after defeats for rivals Newcastle and Tottenham on Saturday.While Antony scored one goal and provided the assist for another, the return of Christian Eriksen for his first start since hurting his ankle in January was a timely boost for Ten Hag as the injuries mount for United.
Eriksen only started because of Sabitzer's injury but looked like he had never been away with a classy performance in the heart of midfield.
