Arsenal 3-1 West Ham

at Ashburton Grove

JUBILANT Arsenal supporters hailed past and present as their side emphatically overturned a half-time deficit to beat West Ham 3-1 on Boxing Day evening.

Second-half goals from Bukayo Saka, Gabi Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah sealed a welcome victory for Mikel Arteta’s table toppers, after Said Benrahma’s first-half penalty put David Moyes’s Irons ahead – as the Gunners continue to confound at the rarefied heights of the top of the world’s richest league.

On a cold evening to warm the heart, fans also chorused the name of a lost but never-to-be-forgotten legendary name in the long and illustrious history of this grand old club. One Arsene Wenger to be precise.
