Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard scored twice to help Arsenal take a 2-0 lead after just 10 minutes in the match against West Ham in round 31 of the Premier League.
However, after that, the "Gunners" let their opponents equalize 2-2 and lose 2 regrettable points. In the previous round, the London team also fell into a similar situation when meeting Liverpool.
Continuously "shooting in the foot" at the decisive moment could cost Arsenal the Premier League title.
They are currently top of the Premier League with 74 points from 31 games, just four points ahead of Man City and having played one game more. Notably, the two teams still have a direct match on April 27.
Coach Arteta shared: "We made a big mistake when we stopped the task of scoring the third and fourth goals. The whole team was satisfied early and thought the match was too easy.
Arsenal players do not understand how the game works and the demands of the game. We need to be ruthless in decisive moments, to defeat the opponent. I am very disappointed.
The way we started the game was fantastic. Arsenal were in complete control of the game. Unfortunately, after that, the team lost their purpose in playing football.
We gave West Ham hope from the penalty. We were on a rollercoaster and couldn't get off it."
Talking about Bukayo Saka's missed penalty that ended the match, coach Arteta said: "A player who takes the responsibility of taking penalties will eventually miss. I have never seen anyone who can hit the target 100% of the time."
Meanwhile, striker Gabriel Jesus said: "After the second goal, we stopped. Arsenal should have continued to accelerate.
It wasn't necessarily the pressure of the championship race, it was simply that we misunderstood how the game worked at that time."
