West Ham's unexpected 1-0 victory against the 10-man Gunners dealt serious damage to Arsenal's hopes of winning the Premier League. While struggling Manchester United overcame a two-goal deficit to draw 2-2 at Everton on Saturday. Arsenal had an opportunity to reduce the gap in the championship race with a victory at the Emirates Stadium, since leaders Liverpool couldn't play until Sunday's trip to Manchester City.

However, Jarrod Bowen gave West Ham the first-half goal before the Gunners saw Myles Lewis-Skelly leave after the half, and Mikel Arteta's team faltered to their first defeat in 16 league games. Liverpool would move an incredible 11 points clear if they defeat struggling City, while second-place Arsenal, whose last top-flight loss was against Newcastle in November, are now eight points behind.
