Declan Rice netted the winner as West Ham beat Arsenal, which is his first goal in career. Samir Nasri was impressive on his league debut for Hammers.
Match Report
Samir Nasri impressed for West Ham as they claimed a 1-0 Premier League victory over his former club Arsenal at London Stadium on Saturday.
West Ham made the breakthrough three minutes into the second half, when a weak clearing header from Laurent Koscielny fell to former Arsenal colleague Nasri, who laid off the ball for Rice fire home from just inside the box.
The Gunners had the ball in the back of the net in stoppage time, but Koscielny's header was ruled out for offside against Lucas Torreira, who crossed the ball, as West Ham held on for a first home win against the Gunners since 2006.

No ozil no torria no ramsey and 3 centerbacks and 2 wingbacks.... why use no creative cm/cams but 5 defenders vs westham?? Would any other top 6 side use so much defense vs westham? No! This was pathetic by whole team(except for the defense) to play so defensively and make so many mistakes in attack. The link up play was missing for large amounts of the game. These are games that prove we need ozil to start in and let him create agaist what was up to now a very sub standard west ham defense. This is westhams only 4th clean sheet all season! And yet our coach used 5 defenders! Shame on you! We can kiss a top 4 finish good by if we dont make some signings or start ozil/ramsey the rest of the year. This 22 game unbeaten streak is worth nothing now! We cant even score on westham! And with united’s resurgence, its now chelsea arsenal and man U all fighting for 4th place. And while europa league offers a way into the champions league.... can we really expect to win europa league if we used 5 defenders amd cant even score on a defense like westham?! Ill always have faith but we need to splash some cash now! Or another season of mediocrity will lead to another!

I don't know the reason for benching Ozil he has experience for the team and Arsenal is giving a chance man united a chance to catch but united must play harder bcoz Toto is not an easy team

The 22 game no loss started when Koscielny returned. Since then Arsenal has not been the same, they haven't played the same. Not sure why Koscielny is starting when there are other players who actually helped make possible the 22 undefeated streak. As much as I've criticized Ozil over and over again, I would seriously be upset as an owner if I was paying a player 350k a week to sit on the bench and not contribute. And even though Ramsey is not resigning m, he's still a Gunner and will give it his all when on the pitch. I agree with the persons comments up too- how do you go so defensively against a mediocre team and not have any netters possible? Again, whose clearing mistake cost the loss:

poor effort arsenal not 1 man made a good enough attempt at goal players at your rate should be shooting from outside the box making more of a effort wanting to win every game.. as for the manager I have no idea what he's doing playing back to the keeper every single time the tactics are getting old now time for new signings a decent forward and change of tactics

a team full of average players plating without any conviction of winning. They keep passing the ball to the keeper all the time ..poor tactics, poor management poor board just letting players leave for free..simply said..This is a poor team. no difference with the Wenger team. what we need is changing of the board not even the coach. Let's have a board that is willing to spend on quality players.

Emery not the problem at Arsenal. Neither, really, is Ozil. They are front-of-house scapegoats engaging in a power battle but this masks the desperate need for major spending to sort out central defence, central midfield and left-back positions. Kroenke must pay up or sell up.

Ever since Emery started a fight with Ozil, his team has not been the same. Managers should understand that in modern football, players are more powerful than managers. You fight with one player as a manager, and the whole squad gets distracted and struggles to perform at their best levels. Emery will be gone sooner than later.

I strongly feel Unai is unable to field the players. Precisely he doesn't know his players well. It is lethal to give such a slow learner a team managers' portfolio. It would take him centuries to yield good results! The standoff between him & Ozil is now finishing up Arsenal. Emery should just swallow his pride and recognize Mesut, otherwise he is doomed to fail miserably. Time will tell!
