Mikel Arteta Highlights The Importance Of Winning Ahead Of West Ham Clash

Arsenal came out 2-1 winners over West Ham on Sunday which saw them move back in front of rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League table. Goals from centre-back duo Rob Holding and Gabriel Magalhaes ensured the Gunners remained two points ahead of Spurs in fourth, as they continue their push for Champions League qualification.

Although there's still a significant spot up for grabs, Arsenal's win at the London Stadium does mean that Mikel Arteta's side is guaranteed a top-six finish, confirming the Europa League will return to the Emirates if fourth isn't claimed.

However, the victory over the Hammers didn't come without its worries after Takehiro Tomiyasu appeared to go off with an issue in the latter stages of the second half. The Japanese international made his first league start since January after being on the sidelines with a reoccurring calf injury.

Following a rather solid display at right-back, Tomiyasu started to move with a slight limp in the 75th minute. When he found himself in possession without being under any pressure a few seconds later, he kicked the ball out of play and went to ground. As club physios attended to him, the 23-year-old gestured towards his calf and was unable to continue.
