End of match

  • 95'
    FT: Arsenal 2-0 West Ham! After a very dull and sluggish first half, the players went to the dressing room to listen to their coaches. However, Arsenal took the lead at the start of the second half when Martinelli scored a wonderful goal. Coufal was sent off for a penalty on Lacazette and the Frenchman took the spot-kick, only for Fabianski to save. In the end, it was Smith Rowe who secured the win for the home side with a left-footed shot from the edge of the box. A pleasure, see you next time!
