Arsenal strengthened their position in the race for Champions League football on Sunday with a 2-1 win over West Ham. Goals from centre-back partnership Rob Holding and Gabriel Magalhaes were enough to see off the Hammers, who can no longer mathematically finish in the top four.
The win means that Arsenal stay in fourth, two points ahead of north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and now just three behind west Londoners, Chelsea, who've been dragged back into the race after a poor performance at relegation battling Everton.
Although there were moments where the Gunners didn't play well, they fought hard for the victory. Their defence looked compact, and they shook off wave after wave of Hammers attacks in the second-half, whilst they simultaneously looked dangerous on the counter-attack.
