Michael Carrick has hailed Arsenal's "terrific run" after they climbed back into the top four of the Premier League following a hard-fought 2-1 win over West Ham at the London Stadium.
It was by no means a straightforward win for Mikel Arteta's men, who took the lead through Rob Holding's header before being pegged back by Jarrod Bowen on the brink of half-time. But the Gunners were well aware of what was at stake, keeping the damage to a minimum, before getting back in front, doubling their lead through Gabriel's diving header at the back post.
Arsenal have now produced three successive wins at the perfect time to ensure they hold a two-point lead over Tottenham with four games to go. "They've had a terrific run," Carrick told the Premier League. "People ask questions, would you rather have the points in the bag, or would you rather be chasing the bottom pressure, I would much rather be in a position where it's in your own hands, 100 per cent.
