Arsenal knew they needed a big win over West Ham in order to be back in the fight for the top four. Premier League this season has offered thrilling entertainment as the tussle for the top spot continues and even the top four are still not set in stone with just a few more matches left in the league. Arsenal took advantage of the fact that West Ham players seemed a little lethargic on the field and it looked like they were relying on the second half to sneak in a win list last season. Fabianski pulled off some excellent saves and one of the best ones was the Nketiah’s impossible save before they scored our first.
Arsenal still has a long way to go before they can lock down their top-four status, next weekend’s Liverpool meet-up would be a deciding factor in their place on the table and then they would host Leeds at home.
