Arsenal's Premier League title hopes were all but ended as they threw away a two-goal lead in their 3-3 draw with West Ham. The crazy encounter summed up their disappointing season, writes Nick Wright…
The early promise, the collapse, the false hope. Arsenal exhibited the three stages of their Premier League season in just 90 minutes at Upton Park, where Andy Carroll's quick-fire hat-trick turned their two-goal lead into a one-goal deficit before Laurent Koscielny's equaliser offered a glimmer of expectation in the final stages.
Ultimately, of course, they didn't do enough to claim the victory they needed, and while the draw puts them one point closer to Tottenham and Leicester, it surely won't be enough to sustain their title challenge. The Foxes can extend their lead over Arsenal to 13 points against Sunderland on Sunday, leaving Wenger and his players to rue another costly implosion.
