Despite the star-studded support, Arsenal faced a challenging match. West Ham's Jarrod Bowen netted a decisive goal just before halftime, leading to a 1-0 defeat for the Gunners. The situation worsened in the 73rd minute when Myles Lewis-Skelly received a red card, reducing Arsenal to ten men. This loss marks Arsenal's first home league defeat of the season and deals a significant blow to their title aspirations.
Manager Mikel Arteta expressed profound disappointment post-match, stating, "We lacked the quality in the final third and made critical errors. This performance is below our standards." The defeat leaves Arsenal trailing league leaders Liverpool by eight points, intensifying the pressure as the season progresses.
