Relive Arsenal v West Ham: Text commentary, updates, goals and stats as it happened

Nuno Espirito Santo made an encouraging start to life at West Ham with a battling 1-1 draw at Everton on Monday but faced an even tougher task on Saturday with a trip to Arsenal.

The Hammers played well at the Hill Dickinson Stadium and were hoping to replicate that against opponents who won 2-0 at home to Olympiacos in the Champions League on Wednesday.

They also took three points last Sunday, hitting back from 1-0 behind to beat visitors Newcastle thanks to Gabriel’s last-gasp header.
