Gabriel Jesus says Arsenal must raise their level again to maintain their fight for the Premier League title after they slipped against West Ham.
The Gunners slipped and got the punishment of watching a two-goal lead end in a draw, (2-2) with the Hammers on Sunday April 16.
It was a sad moment for the hopeful fans when the equalising goal came moments after Bukayo Saka missed a penalty.
It is the second time in a row that Arsenal have given up such an advantage to end the game in a draw, reducing their lead at the top of the table to four points.
Manchester City is closing up.
Fight For The Title
Jesus was disappointed by his team’s collapse and says they must avoid similar mistakes in the future.
“Once again, the three points were in our hands,” the Brazilian striker said after the game.
“As a team, we have to raise the level and come back to our principles. We know our strength. We know what we can do.
“Where we want to attack the opponent, in the first 10 to 20 minutes we did so good, after that we dropped our level and that obviously cannot happen if you want to fight for the title.
“It started from like 5 or 10 minutes before the penalty, because exactly after we scored the second goal we stopped.
“As a team, it’s no time to blame. As a team we have to raise the level again and come back to our principles and like I said win the games.
“That’s the only way we can arrive next month and then fight for the title again.”
