After a somewhat rocky season, Arsenal is doing everything in their power to qualify for the Champions League. Their latest win against West Ham United gave them a win they desperately needed and helped them reclaim the fourth spot in the Premier League. The Gunners faced West Ham on Sunday at London Stadium and managed to win 2-1. Rob Holding had opened the scoring 38 minutes into the game, but the first half ended in a draw after Jarrod Bowen equalized the score for the Hammers. Arsenal made a comeback in the second half and came out victorious thanks to Gabriel Magalhaes’ epic goal. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta acknowledged the fact this wasn’t an easy game to win and praised the players for showing huge character and not giving up. “It’s a massive win, under very difficult circumstances because we put ourselves in real problems, especially with our decision making and in ball possessions, and the spaces we were attacking, and the timing of it and the efficiency of it,” Arteta told reporters after the match. This victory puts Arsenal in the fourth spot in the Premier League rankings, behind Man City, Liverpool, and Chelsea, but Tottenham is lurking behind them, with just two points less.
