Following Arsenal’s disappointing draw against relegation-threatened West Ham United on Sunday afternoon, several Gunners fans took to Twitter to air their thoughts on the performance.
Some fans feel that the game was a nail in the coffin of Arsenal’s title hopes – others have seen the result as merely a storm in a teacup.
It was a poor result and a poor display from the Gunners, but they still remain at the top of the table by four points – here’s what the fans had to say on social media.
Focus on the next game. It's still ours for the winning.

Good game. We just need to work on passing, defending, possession, finishing and communication. We go again next game this time better and more demanding.

In the game against the Hammers, Arsenal started brightly, cutting through West Ham’s defence at will – the contest looked to be over after Arsenal scored their second goal of the afternoon.
West Ham steadied themselves and put forth an admirable fightback in the second half, as Arsenal began to tire and retreated into a defensive shell.
After Bukayo Saka missed a penalty, Arsenal were all at sea – Jarrod Bowen scored soon after to level the scores. The game ended 2-2 and Gunners fans will see the result as two points lost, rather than a point gained.
