The 4th spot is up for grabs and it is Arsenal who make the first move.

    The two London clubs met at the Emirates stadium in an all important game in the fight for top 4. David Moses was taking charge of his 600th Premier League game joining Sir Alex Ferguson, Harry Redknapp and Arsene Wenger in achieving this incredible milestone.

The Hammer’s manager however had never won against Arsenal in his managerial career. 

      The first half was dominated by the Gunners but had very little to show for it at the end of the first 45 minutes as it ended goalless. The Gunners who with a win jump above West Ham into 4th place came out of the second half with the same attitude and immense pressure.

       Their quick play and intensity was rewarded in the 48th minute after Martinelli slotted the ball past Fabianski to give Arsenal a deserved lead. The Arsenal skipper Alexander Lacazette had the chance to double the lead but failed to convert the penalty, putting the match still in the balance.

       Emile Smith Rowe doubled the lead 21 minutes after his introduction. The second goal was enough to hand all 3 points to the Gunners and move them to 4th at least until Manchester United kick a ball.
