WEST HAM dealt a painful blow to Arsenal’s top four ambitions on Saturday with a 1-0 win at the London Stadium.

Hammers midfielder Declan Rice scored his first goal for the club to record their first home win over the Gunners for 13 years.

It was an insipid display from the visitors and boss Unai Emery made no attempt to downplay the significance of this defeat. They now have a gap of six points to bridge between them and Chelsea in fourth place whom they face next weekend in what is now a must-win match.
