Second straight draw for EPL leader Arsenal

Another week, another Arsenal stumble.

Mikel Arteta has a job on his hands to make sure his team’s title challenge does not go the same way.

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.

Even after dropping four points in two games, Arsenal remains four clear of second-place Manchester City but its lead over the defending champ was eight points less than a month ago. City also has a match in hand and a better goal difference.

Arsenal plays City at Etihad Stadium in a pivotal game on April 26.

Manchester United beat host Nottingham Forest 2-0 to move up to third, three points ahead of Newcastle.
