Goals from Rob Holding and Gabriel, either side of Jarrod Bowen’s equaliser earned the Gunners a vital 2-1 win over the Hammers at the London Stadium. The result saw Arteta’s side move back above Tottenham in the race for Champions League football.
Spurs had leapfrogged their North London rivals prior to Arsenal getting underway, having beat Leicester City 3-1. But the Gunners hit straight back, with their destiny still firmly in their own hands with four games of the Premier League season remaining.
The only drawback on an otherwise positive afternoon was seeing Bukayo Saka and Takehiro Tomiyasu withdrawn with potential injuries in the second half. Tomiyasu was making his first start since January and lasted almost 80 minutes, whilst Saka was taken off in the closing stages.
