Arsenal back in top four after defeating West Ham 3-1
In English football,
Arsenal won their match against West Ham last night putting them back into the top four of the Premiership, a point ahead of Everton, where they need to stay to qualify for the Champion's League.
The match was goalless for most of the first half but then in the 40th minute Matt Jarvis put the Hammers in front threatening to add to Arsenal's winless streak of five games.
But then just a minute before the break Lukas Podolski restored the balance, and then in the second half Olivier Giroud and Podolski again scored to take the final result to 3-1.
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce, felt his side were unlucky with the result
"Not getting in at half time at one nil up was a big disappointment. When we got to the first 12-15 minutes of the second-half we're looking comfortable again and the second goal just about sickened me off really because the performance meant nothing after that."
Meanwhile Arsenal Manager Arsen Wenger said his side now need to just focus on one game at a time:
"In the Premier League if you can find me some easy games I'll be taking them but I haven't seen some this season and we know we have to win our games and hope that Everton will slip up somewhere but let's focus on our job and not focus to much on Everton."
Everton will have the chance to reclaim the fourth spot in the league when they take on Crystal Palace at 2:45 Beijing time, or 7:45pm in England.
Kicking off at the same time third placed Manchester City will get the chance to close the gap on Chelsea when they take on bottom of the league Sunderland.
