4 min: West Ham left-back Fredricks takes a throw in … well, tried to take it but his teammates aren’t offering much in the way of options. The shot is blocked by Cresswell but the ease with which Arsenal were able to cut through there might worry the home side. 21 min: Given the high stakes in this one, it’s been a soporific start. 25 min: “Greetings from the OS,” writes Ian Sargeant on Twitter. “Good to see Aaron Cresswell in the Steve Potts role of shortarsed centre half. Rice glances on at the near post and Ramsdale has to react quickly to claw the effort out of the top corner. 35 min: Cresswell clonks the ball forward. Fredericks’ cross finds Fornals this time and though West Ham can’t fashion an opening, the pressure is on. “I see you refer to the West Ham captain as ‘Nobile’ (min 25),” writes Peter Bowles. “If this is the opposite of mobile I make you about right. Coufal again has acres of room on the right. More wackiness in the second half please! 51 min: Bowen goes into the book now for diving! Saka’s corner is cleared to the far post, where Martinelli whips it back in.
Craig Dawson's red card against Chelsea provides David Moyes with even more selection problems at centre back. Angelo Ogbonna and Issa Diop remain sidelined, ...
West Ham enjoying possession of the ball in the opening moments of the second half. The Arsenal man brings him down and goes in the book for his troubles. But the Arsenal man has no support and has to go back towards his own goal. A corner is swung in and West Ham deal with the first ball. There are set to be plenty more twists and turns to come in the top-four race, with Arsenal’s trip to Tottenham looming on 12 May, and Antonio Conte’s side have put the pressure back on the Gunners after beating Leicester 3-1 earlier this afternoon. David Moyes’ side were left with work to do after losing the first leg of their Europa League semi-final against Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 in midweek, and will travel to Germany on Thursday looking to turn the tie around.

Xhaka tried to clip a pass to Nketiah at the back post but there was too much on it.
Good positioning from Elneny in the Arsenal box to cut out a low West Ham cross from the right. Ramsdale gets a good fist to the ball and Saka clears it out for a throw. Tavares chases it down and puts the ball out for a throw. Martinelli wanted a handball against Fornals, and the Brazilian then puts the ball out for a throw with a sliding challenge. Just happy to keep the ball for the sake of it, at the moment. The striker dribbled to the edge of the box and Fabianski tipped his side-foot effort around the post. West Ham on the attack straight away and win a corner of their own. Good delivery from Saka and Holding ran off Lanzini to plant a header into the bottom corner. Tavares then plays Xhaka into a spot of danger and Mark Noble robs him of the ball in midfield. Arsenal kept the ball alive from the corner and Martinelli dinked a cross to the back post where Gabriel had ghosted in unmarked. Tavares with another poor pass and the ball was played in behind for Bowen to chase, and the goalkeeper rushed out of his area and looked to have hacked him down. West Ham seeing most of the ball in the early exchanges, but Rice almost overruns the ball.

West Ham probably look the slightly more likely to score. Fornals plays it to Coufal and his low cross reaches Benrahma at the back post.

It's a huge game for Arsenal as they look to consolidate their position as favourites in the race for top four.

Arsenal player ratings vs West Ham as Rob Holding and Gabriel get Gunners one step closer to the top four with 2-1 win in the Premier League.
Nuno Tavares (LB) – 4/10 – While he calmed down slightly from the hour mark onwards and improved, it was another really poor game for Nuno who positionally was suspect throughout, and then horribly sloppy at key moments. Once again it was a weak showing from Nuno who too often takes matters into his own hands and invites chaos. Gabriel (CB) – 8/10 – Played some of the best passes of the whole game. Rob Holding (CB) – 8/10 – A first ever Premier League goal! From a defensive standpoint Tomiyasu let nothing past him, keeping Benrahma under wraps and batting away anything that came near him in the air. It was tense.

It's advantage Arsenal in the race for the Champions League after a 2-1 victory at the London Stadium.
- Xhaka – 6 - Elneny – 6 - Soucek – 6 - Antonio – 6 - Zouma – 6 - Coufal – 6 Gabriel was the beneficiary of West Ham’s largesse on this occasion, converging on Martinelli’s cross unattended and planting his header in the net via the leg of Fabianski. Interestingly, in an entirely co-incidental episode, Saka was booked for a trip on Bowen two minutes into the second half. Saka swung it in and Holding rose unchallenged to make a statue of Lukasz Fabianski. Mikel Arteta went through his Riverdance routine in the technical area as if the goal were the fruit of some grand design. In the absence of the brittle Thomas Partey, Arsenal’s promising three ball of Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are starved of quick ball. West Ham, having played 30 per cent more games than Arsenal, care of their ongoing European involvement, rested the influential Tomas Soucek and Michail Antonio seemingly without impact. Such is the chasm in quality beneath Manchester City and Liverpool you wonder what the point might be other than the PR benefit associated with Champions League participation.

That was a risk we took and in the end it came back to punish us." West Ham have the second leg of their Europa League semi-final with Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday evening, before travelling to Norwich next weekend. The team we put out today lacked that height we required." I think if the referee had seen it, he would have stopped it." He will not be short of people wanting him. I really like him. On one occasion, he fired a yard wide of the far post. "With the ball we were really poor. They showed the spirit we have. "You have to find a way, you have to play the game that is necessary to play when you are not at your best and we did that in a lot of moments." "I'm still digesting a lot of things we didn't do right, but as a team to grow in confidence and to continue with the moment we have, we've won against three big teams in a row." Mikel Arteta praised his Arsenal side for "winning ugly" as they battled to a 2-1 win over West Ham to climb back above Tottenham and boost their prospects of a top-four finish.
Arsenal became the third Premier League team to notch 20 wins this season, beating West Ham United 2-1 at the Olympic Stadium to move back into fourth.
2. Bowen on path to join the 10+10 club: Jarrod Bowen’s been linked with Premier League big boys as he’s impressed in England and Europe with his tenacious style and nose for when to pick out a pass and a goal. Yes, plural, because Chelsea may have a favorable stretch of fixtures to finish the season but they have not found consistency in front of goal and haven’t had an easy time off the pitch. West Ham’s 52 points are good for seventh place on the table with three matches left in its season.
