Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher claims that Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was “lucky” in the outcome of a challenge on West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen. While it appears that the shot-stopper, who rushed out to stop the ball, clipped the winger, a booking was given for simulation.
It was a key moment in the game as the Gunners went on to win 2-1, with goals from Rob Holding and Gabriel either side of Bowen’s strike giving Mikel Arteta an important three points. It takes the side up to fourth in the table, leapfrogging North London rivals Tottenham and putting them three points behind Chelsea in third.
Discussing the win, the Spaniard was critical of elements of the display, but praised their character: "It’s a massive win, under very difficult circumstances because we put ourselves in real problems, especially with our decision making and ball possessions, the spaces we were attacking, and the timing of it and the efficiency of it. But the team showed huge character, not giving up, to continue trying to do the right things.
