Arsenal Drops Points, Held in Scoreless Draw vs. London Foe West Ham

West Ham produced their second impressive display inside a week, holding Arsenal 0-0 in a closely contested encounter at the London Stadium.

The Hammers almost stole all the points at the death, substitute Javier Hernandez crashing a late curling effort against Petr Cech's crossbar following Laurent Koscielny's kamikaze error.

In a game of few chances, David Moyes' men frustrated the visitors despite Arsenal dominating possession for large periods of the game. In a repeat of Sunday's trip to Southampton, the Gunners struggled to break down their opposition and dropped more points in their quest for a top four spot.

West Ham were unchanged, whilst Arsenal made four changes from their weekend draw with Southampton, Arsene Wenger recalling Jack Wilshere to the starting lineup for the first time in 577 days, as well as handing Olivier Giroud his first start of the season.
