London –
Arsenal had difficulty responding to resistance from West Ham United. However, the Gunners ultimately only needed 25 minutes to secure all three points.
Entertaining West Ham at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday (9/20/2020) WIB early in the morning, Arsenal tried to continue their strong start after winning 3-0 in Fulham last week.
Arsenal really controlled the game with 63 ball possession and even went ahead in the 25th minute with a goal from Alexandre Lacazette. But statistically West Ham is superior and can cause problems for Arsenal.
BBC Sport noted that West Ham made 14 attempts, although only three hit home. One of them resulted in Michail Antonio’s draw at the end of the first half.
In the second half, Arsenal found it difficult to cope with resistance from West Ham, who repeatedly stole opportunities on the counterattack. There is even a chance that West Ham through Antonio’s header hit the crossbar.
Arsenal, who were under pressure, were able to slowly control the match again and were able to calm their opponent’s attacks. Until finally the effort to add the three points paid off in the 85th minute, when substitute Eddie Nketiah started the ball in front of Lukasz Fabianski’s goal.
By winning 2-1, Arsenal also managed to continue their strong start to this season and are a good asset to face defending champion Liverpool next week. To see the highlights of the match, watch Mola TV via this link.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is satisfied with the unwavering performance of his players in search of victory.
“I am very happy to score all three points. I said before this game that the game will be difficult considering the way they play,” Arteta said. BBC Sport.
“We even made it difficult for ourselves in the first 15 minutes as we often lost the ball and gave them room to attack. I’m happy that we can find momentum and remain confident and brave against them, at least the good momentum was present in the last 25 minutes, “he continued.
“We created a lot of dangerous situations. But we also kept opponents in the last third of the field too often. We still have a lot to improve to make it even better.”
