Arsenal blew a two-goal lead and surrendered more ground in the Premier League title race after a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa.
The Gunners looked to be on course for another significant win after Kai Havertz doubled the lead eight minutes into the second half.
Gabriel Martinelli had poked the home side into a deserved half-time lead but Arsenal’s advantage was wiped out in the space of a crazy eight-minute second half spell.
Youri Tielemans headed Villa back into the contest and the same player even had time to hit the post before Ollie Watkins fired Unai Emery’s men level halfway into the second period.
Arsenal twice thought they had won it late but were first denied by VAR for a Kai Havertz handball, before Mikel Merino hit the post from close range.
