Premier League, Arsenal beat West Ham 2-0: Records broken
Arsenal have moved into the top four in the Premier League table

Arsenal have moved into the top four of the Premier League 2021-22 table by beating 10-man West Ham United 2-0. They leapfrogged the Hammers and Manchester United, whose match against Brentford was postponed due to coronavirus hitting the camp. Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith Rowe scored for Arsenal in the second half to earn a crucial win for Mikel Arteta's side.

Context
Why does it matter?
  • Arsenal are very much in the race for a top-four finish this season.
  • This was their second successive win after two losses.
  • Seeing youngsters come in and step up will please Arteta a lot.
  • This was an intense match and Arsenal handled things well.
  • They were the better side and got rewarded for showing character.
  • Ahead of the festive period, this win is massive.

Alexandre Lacazette also had a penalty saved by goal-keeper Lukasz Fabianski in the second half. Vladimir Coufal was sent off for a second booking and conceded the penalty after having been adjudged to have fouled Lacazette.
