West Ham United played host to Arsenal at Upton Park, as the Hammers looked to get something off the high flying Gunners.
The North London club had only lost one game so far, which was against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 last week, and as a result, they weren’t going to be going easy on their opponents.
However, with Andy Carroll back in the squad, West Ham had their own game plan and ideas for the match, as they were certain they could get a point from the game.
In the 21st minute of the game, it was West Ham who went on to score the first goal of the game. Diame made a run into the Arsenal box and then cut past Ramsey, he then looked to be set to cross the ball, but he managed to fool everyone and bend
the ball into the top corner of the goal instead.
However, before the first half came to an end, Arsenal went on to level things up in the game. Podolski made a run forward and then bent in a very teasing cross into the box. Out of all the people of the pitch, it was Olivier Giroud who stretched his leg
the furthest and managed to knock the ball past the keeper and into the back of the net. In doing so he scored his first Premier League goal, while helping http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 draw level in the game.
The Gunners then had to wait all the way till the 77th minute, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Theo-Walcott-c34873 went on to score Arsenal’s second. Giroud proved his worth once again, as he threaded a ball forward for Walcott. The winger then darted forward and sent a low finish
into the back of the net.
Before the match came to an end, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santi-Cazorla-c32505 also managed to get on the score sheet as he scored in the 83rd minute. The midfielder got the ball some twenty five yards from goal, but he went on to hit a cross body shot with his left, and sent
the ball past the keeper and into the far corner of the goal.
As a result of that goal, Arsenal went on to win the game by three goals to one, despite conceding the opening goal in the game.
