Report: Arsenal 0-2 West Ham United

We suffered our first home defeat of the season after conceding in each half against West Ham.

The visitors took the lead with a disputed opener from Tomas Soucek after a defensive mix up, and though we toiled for the leveller – and hit the post through Bukayo Saka – we fell further behind in the second-half.

Defender Dinos Mavropanos, who played eight times for us in the late 2010s, headed home from a corner to condemn us to a painful defeat.

David Raya saved a stoppage time penalty but the night ended in disappointment.

Controversial opener

We saw plenty of the ball early on.
