Match report: Arsenal 2-1 West Ham

By Josh James

WHAT HAPPENED

Eddie Nketiah came off the bench to grab a late winner as we made it two wins out of two at the start of the season.

In truth we were below par for much of our opening home game of the campaign, despite taking the lead through Alexandre Lacazette's thumping header.

Lacazette's goal was actually our first attempt on goal after a fairly soporific opening 25 minutes. Angelo Ogbonna had actually gone closest to opening the scoring for the away side early on, but could only direct his tame header straight at Bernd Leno.
