One of them days where the C tactic picks us off but in truth it was a close-ish game early doors, once we opened up and switched our set up, West Ham started to get hold of the tie and took the lead. We managed to level the tie before gifting the lead straight back. Once we scored late one it looked like a salvaged draw but unfortunately The Hammers found a late winner.
On the day we fell into their hands, we can't have many if any complaints so we'll move on and try once again to close this gap at the top. We worked hard to drag ourselves back at the top and to slip up is disappointing for sure. We're in the home straight so it's wins we need and we'll try and get as many as we can.
Neither side in this game brave enough to open up and try to force a result with the result being a predictable boring no score draw. A point at Stamford bridge is a decent enough result but its not particularly inspiring being involved in games of this nature.
A London derby for The Gunners in this round with Palace next up at The Emirates. Looking to put the defeat against Villa in the last round behind them, Arsenal came out the traps on the front foot and a good display and a clean sheet, coupled with goals from Ranieri and another for Chiesa got them back to winning ways and a big three points on the table.
With Correa out injured, fans were informed before kick off that the Midfielder would not be wearing the Arsenal shirt after a deal with Barcelona had been agreed which also included Pepe who played his last minutes for the club before flying out for talks with a move very likely to take place. Also leaving the club will be Dean Henderson who is also signing for Barcelona.
The Boss spoke after the game ;
" We said last week that we now enter a period of games that see us against teams below us, something that we have struggled to get points from but we need to turn hat round and keep the pressure on the teams that keep setting the bar. We do say our goodbyes to two players that have been here for a long time now, Correa and Pepe but we feel the time is right now to make the change. Likewise with Dean Henderson, he's been given permission to discuss terms also ".
