Arsenal fans have every reason to smile following Monday
night victory against West Ham United.
Freddie Ljungberg made his first victory as the Gunners
manager by hammering his former club, ending Arsenal’s nine-match winless
spell.
But what sparked the victory is Gabriel Martinelli side-footing
equalizer, which cancelled out Angelo Ogbonna’s deflected first-half opener at
London Stadium.
This was the Eighteen-year-old Premier League debut, which
opened Arsenal’s fire guns against West Ham.
In the nine minutes, Nicolas Pepe had curled a magnificent
second into the top corner and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang fired in a third.
The salvo turned the game on its head and piled the pressure
on West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini, whose side have taken four points from
their past nine league games and conceded three times in three successive home
games.
The Hammers remain a point above the relegation zone in 16th
and face a trip to third-bottom Southampton on Saturday.
Arsenal move up two places to ninth place with two (2)
points behind fifth placed Manchester United.
