Paddy Power has left punters stunned after paying out on Liverpool to win the Premier League, in light of Arsenal’s disastrous defeat to West Ham.
Mikel Arteta’s side went into today’s contest at the Emirates looking to capitalise on Liverpool’s slip-up against Aston Villa, after the Reds were held to a draw in midweek.
But with the chance to close the gap on the league leaders to five, Arsenal were toothless against the Hammers, who came out comfortable winners in a shock triumph for Graham Potter.
Ending a four-game winless run, Jarred Bowen’s strike on the cusp of half-time proved the difference for West Ham – with Arsenal’s woes compounded by the second-half sending off of Myles Lewis-Skelly.
The result acts as a hammer blow to Arsenal’s title hopes as Arteta chases down his first piece of major silverware as Gunners boss.
And for betting site Paddy Power, today’s defeat was enough to convince them that it’s all over in the Premier League title race.
