Nasri offers Ozil-less Arsenal painful reminder of importance of creativity

The former Gunners attacking midfielder teed up Declan Rice for West Ham's winner at the London Stadium, leaving Unai Emery with plenty to ponder

Arsenal fans were given a stark reminder that their team is still a work in progress under head coach Unai Emery in Saturday's 1-0 loss to West Ham at the London Stadium.

Former Gunners star Samir Nasri was lining up in the Premier League against his old club and he made a huge impact with an assist for Declan Rice's match-winning goal.

Emery’s side were painfully toothless for the majority of the game, struggling to leave their mark on the game without playmaker Mesut Ozil, who missed the lunchtime kick off due to the reoccurrence of a knee injury.
