West Ham v Arsenal review – Great game but a point not enough

Arsenal started this latest must win game away to West Ham very well and for 40 minutes we looked in control. Our forwards and creative players were fluent and after we got a bit of luck with an early goal for the home side incorrectly ruled out for offside the Gunners took full advantage with great goals from Ozil and Alexis Sanchez.

Both assists had come from the young and exciting Alex Iwobi but it was some sloppy play on the ball from him that allowed the Hammers back in. Two goals in two minutes just before the break was a real hammer blow to Arsenal and it looked like we were still reeling after the restart.

Carroll had scored the first two and completed his hat-trick in the 52nd minute with Arsenal looking all at sea. Fair play to Arsene Wenger and the players though, because we rallied well and the manager’s substitutions had a positive effect. KOscielny gave us hope with 20 minutes to go after finishing an Ozil cross and there wqere chances for both sides to win it.

But in the end both had to settle for a draw and thast pretty much ends our hopes of the Premier League title for another year.
