West Ham United pulled off a victory against the Gunners at the London Stadium on Saturday in the Premier League. The solo goal of Declan Rice at the 48th minute of the match was enough for the Hammers to take all the three points from this contest. The former player of Arsenal, Samir Nasri provided the assist for this Goal.
Mesut Ozil was again left out from the squad of the Gunners against West Ham United. The manager of Arsenal, Unai Emery decided to start both Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang in this match. However, their impact in the game was really less.
Alex Iwobi was certainly the best attacker for the Gunners on the pitch. His pace was the only thing that was bothering the defensive unit of West Ham United. Otherwise they really looked solid at the back. All four defenders played their part quite well and Lukasz Fabianski made some important saves to keep a clean sheet for the Hammers.
After this defeat, Arsenal stayed at the fifth position in the League Table with 41 points in 22 matches so far. Manchester United will now have the chance to catch them if they can beat Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
