EPL: Arsenal secures victory against West Ham
It was precisely the two players who had a small clash in the first league match, when they got into a shoving match during warm-up, who gave Arsenal the three points in a match that became complicated for them.
Mikel Arteta's team took the lead with a great combination between Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who delivered a cross along the line, and Alexandre Lacazette, who scored with a header.
But West Ham, who had Paraguayan Fabián Balbuena on the bench, regrouped and managed to equalize by taking advantage of the speed of their attackers. In a counterattack, Ryan Frederiks passed the ball to Michail Antonio, who only had to tap it in.
In the second half, David Moyes' team was superior and had chances to take the lead, especially with a header from Antonio that hit the crossbar.
However, it was Arsenal who struck. They played a ball into the box and Ceballos, unmarked, passed it to Nketiah, who scored the Gunners' winning goal.
Arteta's team has started the Premier League in an unbeatable way, with two wins in two matches, placing them second in the table, behind Everton. On the other hand, things are not going well for West Ham, who, after their second defeat, are eighteenth and in the relegation zone.
