The Gunners dropped two vital points in the Premier League title race on Saturday as they let a two-goal lead slip against Aston Villa, after Liverpool's late win at Brentford

Arsenal star Thomas Partey has been called out a crucial error during the Gunners’ 2-2 draw with Aston Villa – a result that sees Mikel Arteta’s side lose more valuable ground on Liverpool in the Premier League title race.

Ghanaian international midfielder Thomas Partey was described as “unforgivable” by Gary Neville during Arsenal's dramatic 2-2 draw with Aston Villa.

Arsenal fans say they no longer want to see Thomas Partey at right-back after their Premier League draw against Aston Villa on Saturday.

MIKEL ARTETA blasted the defensive errors that left Arsenal’s title hopes in tatters. Two blunders from Thomas Partey and Mikel Merino allowed Aston Villa to come back from 2-0 down. And

Arsenal legend Paul Merson has heavily criticised Ghanaian international Thomas Partey following the Gunners’ 2-2 draw against Aston Villa on Saturday night.

After such a brilliant performance full of energy, cutting edge and drive, Arsenal inexplicably found a way to chuck two points away as their jaded, injury-hit team were dejected at the final whistle. They’re still 12 games unbeaten in the Premier League but this draw hurt. It stung. It felt like a defeat.

Villa, however, scored twice in the space of eight second-half minutes as Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins found the net. The draw means Arsenal are now six points off Premier League leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand as well.

If this is to be the end of Arsenal's title challenge -- and given events in Brentford earlier Saturday, it feels like it might be -- then it could scarcely be more appropriate. This was the full smorgasbord of the reasons why the Premier League trophy will be on Merseyside come May 24 rather than north London.

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has addressed transfer reports linking Martin Zubimendi to the North London club. He has been deemed as Thomas Partey's replacement.

Arsenal shared the spoils against Aston Villa in the Premier League after a disappointing defensive performance. The Gunners had a good start at the Emirates Stadium, and they deservedly raced into a 1-0 lead at the interval. Arsenal doubled their advantage soon after the break, and they looked on course for a comfortable 2-0 triumph.

Ollie Watkins explained why he was so impressed by Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes during their 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium.
