With Leicester City clinging on to an 11-point lead over Arsenal at the top of the Premier League, it was imperative that Arsene Wenger’s side come away with all three points against West Ham. Although the Gunners took a 2-0 lead, Andy Carroll netted a hat-trick to give the Hammers a 3-2 lead. Laurent Koscielny eventually scored an equaliser as the match ended 3-3 with both London sides sharing the points.
The result now sees Arsenal 10 points behind the Foxes having played the same number of games and three points behind north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. As they missed out on yet another chance to catch up with the leaders after beating them at home in February, Twitter went crazy with some amazing stats and hilarious memes. Here are a select few.
