Arsenal used their dark arts to wind the clock down against West Ham but Mikel Arteta wasn't fully on board.
The Gunners saw out a 2-1 victory at the London Stadium on Sunday in what was a crucial three points in the top four race as they reclaimed fourth spot over Tottenham following their 3-1 win over Leicester earlier in the day.
The north Londoners weren't at their fluent best but they showed heart and desire to grind out the result. There was also some savviness on display something they haven't been accustomed to in recent years.
