Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Arsenal FC launch into their encounter with West Ham United FC.
  • 5' West Ham United FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Arsenal FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 13' GOAL! Tomas Soucek fires home to make it 0-1!
  • 18' The travelling West Ham United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 23' Supporters expect more eagerness from Vladimir Coufal, as he is very good at scoring at Emirates Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 28' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 33' The crowd applauds Lucas Paqueta as he leaves the pitch. Said Benrahma steps in for West Ham United FC.
  • 38' Ghana international Mohammed Kudus has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 43' Arsenal FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 48' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for James Ward-Prowse suffering a number of foals already.
  • 53' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 53 minutes.
  • 55' What a strike from Konstantinos Mavropanos! The score is 0-2.
  • 60' It is a cagey affair so far. Arsenal FC in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past West Ham United FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 64' A change in the Arsenal FC ranks — Martinelli exits the field as Eddie Nketiah enters on 64.
  • 69' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 72' Controversy at the stadium! Reiss Nelson argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 77' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 79' The Arsenal FC manager makes a substitution. Leandro Trossard departs to be replaced by Emile Smith Rowe.
  • 84' Bukayo Saka is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Arsenal FC tonight.
  • 89' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Declan Rice made 341 appearances and scored 30 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from West Ham United FC to claim maximum points.
