Inspired goalkeeping... and the Hammer Double

Can somebody tell me how??? 30 shots and 14 corners and still lose 0-1.

The Gunners started the match in storming fashion. They really peppered the West Ham goalmouth with shots after shots. Robert Green, the West Ham custodian was simply top class. When he did got beaten, the woodwork saved them twice.

Really, Arsenal were at their best… beautiful passing, fluidity, great movements, plenty of purposeful running. The only problem was the failure to conjure a goal.

This match is also historic by virtue of being their first Premiership defeat at the Emirates and also the dubious honour of losing three Premiership games in a row in two years. Real arse luck!

My wife, who was earlier carrying my daughter and had since laid her to sleep…came to the hall and saw the scoreline at the telly… she just exclaimed, “West Ham also can beat them?” That really sums it up.

Not a fair result, but in football, it is always the results that matters. If this rot continues… fourth place also seems wobbly.
