Arteta expects “twists and turns” in the race for the first four
Stay tuned for live updates as Arsenal strives to make a huge step towards securing a place in the Champions League and qualifying for the Champions League while visiting West Ham at London Stadium. The Gunners returned to pole position for fourth place after decisive wins against Chelsea and Manchester United, while rivals Tottenham withdrew, dropping points against Brighton and Brentford.
West Ham also aim to qualify for the Champions League, but their hopes have been focused on their own European performance. David Moyes’ side have lost their jobs after losing the first leg of the Europa League semi-final to Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 in the middle of the week and will travel to Germany on Thursday to reverse the tie.
The Hammers have not beaten Arsenal in three years, but the home side’s victory will make them rise above Manchester United in the battle for sixth place. There are still many twists and turns ahead of the race for the first four, with Arsenal’s trip to Tottenham scheduled for May 12, and Antonio Conte’s side again putting pressure on the Gunners after beating Leicester 3-1 earlier this afternoon.

West Ham 1-2 Arsenal
62 minutes: Martinelli is fouled by Kufal. The rhythm completely disappeared from the game after the second goal of Arsenal.

60 minutes: Nketia drifts in the field on the left and tries his luck from the edge of the field, but Fabianski pulls him out of the sky with ease.
How can West Ham respond after falling behind for the second time today?

West Ham 1-2 Arsenal
57 minutes: By the way, commentators believe that the Ramsdale / Bowen moment was handled correctly. I could not disagree anymore.
A moment later, Arsenal are back ahead.
Terribly bad luck for West Ham.

GOAL! West Ham 1-2 Arsenal (Gabriel, 55)
55 minutes: And minutes later Arsenal is back ahead!
A corner spun and West Ham tackled the first ball. But when he returns from the other side, Gabriel waits in the back pillar to nod closely.

West Ham 1-1 Arsenal
54 minutes: Wow, this is weird ?!
Bowen goes to the right and Rumsdale leaves his penalty area to meet him. Bowen gets there first to touch the ball around Ramsdale and then goes down. The Arsenal goalkeeper did not make contact with Bowen, but clearly went through it and did not receive the ball.
Mike Dean chooses to book Bowen for a dive! I’m sorry, but it wasn’t a dive. Ramsdale got away with one there.

53 minutes: Saka sends Nketia on a break from the right. But the Arsenal man has no support and must return to his own door.

West Ham 1-1 Arsenal
51 minutes: Holding tries a cross-field ball to Saka, which Fredericks handles as he returns to Creswell.
It is safe to say that the beginning of this second half did not start where the end of the first half stopped. The pace dropped again.

West Ham 1-1 Arsenal
49 minutes: YELLOW! Bowen collects the ball and escapes from Saka in the middle of the field. The Arsenal man takes him down and enters the book about his problems.

West Ham 1-1 Arsenal
48 minutes: No change for both sides of the half. Mikel Arteta clearly believes that his early XI deserves another chance to prove himself after this grim first period. David Moyes probably has more than one eye on Thursday.
West Ham enjoyed possession of the ball in the opening moments of the second half. Fornals scores a pass to Benrahma on the edge of the penalty area. He goes to goal, but Holding blocks it well.
