Arsenal couldn't take advantage of Liverpool's mid-week draw and had an uninspiring attacking performance, losing to West Ham United at home.
From the moment the starting whistle blew, West Ham set up a low defensive block that frustrated Arsenal, who struggled to find space in the final third. Graham Potter's defensive game plan worked to perfection in the first half and in the 41st minute, Jarrod Bowen finished off a deadly counter attack to put the visitors in front at Emirates Stadium.
