The match saw West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen score the decisive goal just before halftime, heading in a cross from Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Arsenal's efforts to equalize were further hampered when substitute Myles Lewis-Skelly received a red card in the 73rd minute for a foul on Mohammed Kudus. Despite maintaining possession and creating opportunities, the Gunners were unable to break through West Ham's resolute defense. This loss ended Arsenal's 15-match unbeaten run in the Premier League and left them eight points behind league leaders Liverpool.
Manager Mikel Arteta expressed his frustration post-match, acknowledging the team's lackluster performance and taking responsibility for the defeat. He highlighted the need for improvement and focus as Arsenal prepares for their upcoming fixtures, including a crucial match against Nottingham Forest.
