West Ham United manager David Moyes has hailed the ‘excellent’ fightback of his players in their 2-2 draw with Arsenal at the London Stadium on Sunday.
Premier League leaders Arsenal had gone 2-0 up inside ten minutes after early goals from Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard, with West Ham cancelling them out before the hour mark with goals from Said Benrahma (penalty) and Jarrod Bowen before the hour mark.
As West Ham overturned a two-goal deficit in the Premier League to avoid defeat for the first time since drawing 3-3 at Tottenham Hotspur in October 2020, Moyes highlighted his players’ ability to pile pressure on his opposition players as they fought back to move four points clear of the relegation zone.

“I think we’ve tried to improve. I think today, we put Arsenal under pressure, we tried to put them on the back foot,” said Moyes.
“We tried to not make anything easy, looked a little bit quicker all round the pitch. We got up to people faster, so there was a lot of things that we did better than we did before. We do, we need to get back to it.
“We’re pleased, the players are pleased because it was a big result. Of course you want to win, but getting a draw today, especially after being 2-0 down, is an excellent result.”
