Arsenal beat West Ham 4-1 to secure top four

On May 22, Arsenal went all out in the 37th round of the Premier League, beating the "Hammer Gang" West Ham United 4-1 at home. Not only did they avenge their defeat in the first half, but they also locked up the top four in the league in advance and ensured a place in the Champions League next season!

 

In this match played at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal controlled the tempo from the beginning of the game, and Martinelli opened the scoring in the 12th minute through a wonderful teamwork. Odegaard instigated a counterattack in the midfield and passed the ball to Saka, who crossed the ball to the middle of the penalty area, and Martinelli rushed to send the ball into the net, helping the home team to take an early 1-0 lead.

In the 27th minute, Odegaard showed his leadership style. After getting the ball in front of the penalty area, he made a precise arc ball, which bypassed the defender and goalkeeper and went straight into the dead corner. Arsenal expanded its lead to 2-0. Although West Ham tried to counterattack afterwards, it was unsuccessful and the visiting team fell behind by two goals in the first half.

After changing sides, in the 54th minute, Arsenal made another effort. This time, Nketiah took advantage of the mistake of West Ham's defense and successfully intercepted the ball. Facing the goalkeeper alone, he calmly shot the ball into the goal. The score became 3-0, which almost killed the suspense of the game.

Although West Ham United saved the game with a goal scored by Bowen in the 70th minute, the home team did not relax. In the 82nd minute, Smith Rowe, who came on as a substitute, seized the opportunity of a corner kick and shot into the net in the melee in the penalty area, securing a 4-1 victory.

After the big win, Arsenal is firmly in fourth place in the standings with 72 points, 7 points ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United, and has secured a spot in the Champions League with only one round left. After the game, the team's coach Arteta said he was proud of the players' performance and stressed that he would continue to strive for victory and end the season in the best possible condition.

This is Arsenal's fourth win in the last five games, and the team's form is clearly improving. Fans sang the team song after the game to celebrate the team's return to the top European competition. West Ham United suffered two consecutive defeats and is currently ranked 11th, but it is still possible to compete for the top ten.

Arsenal will play away against Brighton in the last round of the season, aiming to get all three points and put a perfect end to the season.
