Football fans react to Arsenal Losing to west ham at the Emirates. Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes suffered a hammer blow when Jarrod Bowen’s goal just before halftime gave London rivals West Ham United a surprise 1-0 away victory on Saturday.
Bowen headed in from close range in the 44th minute and Arsenal’s attack, missing a host of injured forwards, could not prevent a first home league defeat of the season.
Arsenal barely troubled visiting keeper Alphonse Areola, managing two shots on target, and played the last 20 minutes with 10 men after substitute Myles Lewis-Skelly was red-carded for hauling down Mohammed Kudus.
Mikel Arteta’s second-placed side have 53 points from 26 games, eight behind leaders Liverpool who face champions Manchester City away on Sunday.
Arsenal’s last home league defeat came 10 months ago against Aston Villa and that ultimately proved decisive as they failed to prevent Manchester City winning a fourth successive title.
As Arsenal’s fans drifted out of the stadium on Saturday they surely felt as though another title bid was set to end in failure, especially if Liverpool win on Sunday.
With Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka all out injured, makeshift forward Mikel Merino proved the unlikely solution last week with both goals in a 2-0 victory at Leicester City.
Arsenal could have closed the gap with Liverpool to five points and exerted some real pressure on Arne Slot’s side if they had beaten a West Ham side they trounced 5-2 away this season.
Instead, West Ham were full value for only their second win in six league games under new manager Graham Potter. #arsenalvswestham #premierleague #football #merino #supereagles
