Jarrod Bowen’s header just before half-time saw us fall to defeat against West Ham United at Emirates Stadium as we missed out on the chance to put pressure on league leaders Liverpool.
The visiting captain nodded the ball past David Raya towards the end of a quiet first half to secure his side back-to-back wins on our patch for the first time since 2007, with our task made harder when Myles Lewis-Skelly was shown a red card for denying a goalscoring opportunity on 72 minutes.
Despite some late pressure, the Hammers held on to end our 15-match unbeaten league run, and the gap at the top remains at eight points with the Reds in action tomorrow.
