With a relentless Man City chasing them down, are Arsenal starting to implode in the title race?

It was two minutes that could define the Premier League season.

After Michail Antonio was adjudged to have handled Gabriel Martinelli's shot, Arsenal and Bukayo Saka had the chance to dampen a resurgent West Ham and put themselves 3-1 up.

Saka - fresh off scoring all four of his Premier League penalties for the Gunners, including two this season - had the chance to almost certainly guarantee Mikel Arteta's side another victory and put their lead at the top back to six points over Manchester City.

But the 21-year-old - who is in the running to be the Premier League player of the season after a fine campaign - remarkably put his penalty wide of Lukasz Fabianski's goal and the Hammers and their supporters were immediately lifted.
