West Ham 1-2 Arsenal: Third derby win in a row brings them closer to the top four

After significant successes against Chelsea and Manchester United, Arsenal clinched a treble in their third consecutive derby, defeated West Ham 2-1 and shot up to fourth place by +2 against Tottenham.

April got off to a disastrous start for Arsenal with three straight league defeats (from Crystal Palace, Brighton and Southampton) but the reaction was more than deafening as Michel Arteta’s side won three straight wins in as many derbies and the foursome , which offers a ticket for the Champions League.

The first two came against Chelsea (4-2 away) and Manchester United (3-1 inside), with the good to … third on Sunday afternoon (1/5) after beating West Ham 2-1 at the London Stadium and climbed to just 4th place, having two points more than compatriot Tottenham, four games before the Premier League final (one of which is the derby between them).

The Gunners’ winning goals were signed by their two centre-backs, Holding and Gabriel, with the Hammers temporarily leveling with Bowen but aggressively disappearing in the second half, inevitably leading to the defeat that kept them in 7th place.

The game

The match at the London Stadium offered little of the offensive spirit of either side for the first half hour, but it caught fire from there until 45′. In the 33rd minute, Rice had the first shot at home for either team (Ramsdale made constant saves), while Fabianski struggled to parry Enketia’s shot in the 38th minute, in a phase that preceded Arsenal’s goal.

Because after the corner won by Artet’s team, which Saka mistakenly took, Holding caught his head from the height of the small area to send the ball to the right corner of Fabianski’s goal (0:1).

The goal immediately activated the home side’s reflexes, with Rumsdale deflecting Rice’s header too far in the 40th minute but having no ‘reaction’ to West Ham’s hammering five minutes later.

When Rice found Zoufal with a precision ball and fed Bowen, the England midfielder defeated Ramsdale with a beautiful shot inside the box to level the game to a draw (1-1) before the two teams went to the dressing room for the sleepless.

Arsenal were the stronger side in the second minute, having a shot from Saka in the 53rd minute, who struggled to parry Fabianski in a corner to take the lead for the second time in the game a minute later.

After a corner kick from Saka and a clearance from the home side, Martinelli grabbed the ball and took the cross from the left to the far post, Gabriel threw himself behind West Ham’s defense and Ronal headed the gunners 2-1.

This goal increased the psychology of the guests, who were chasing a third goal to “end” the game, but were not effective as Martinelli and Enketia missed important opportunities. Despite this, the Gunners managed to keep the West Ham players out of the large area of Ramsdale, staying 2-1 through to the final and giving them a crucial win in the battle of four that leads to the new Champions League.

WEST HAM: Fabianski, Fredericks, Tsoufal, Zuma, Creswell, Noble (77′ Sucek), Rice, Bowen, Lancini (70′ Antonio), Fornals, Benrahma (81′ Yarmolenko)

ARSENAL: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu (78′ Soares), Holding, Gabriel, Tavares, Elneni, Jaka, Saka (87′ Smith-Row), Edgaard (90′ Lokonga), Martinelli, Enketia
