David Moyes led the team to two consecutive wins, and the chaos of the Premier League pattern has messed up the season prospects of the three teams
The score became 2-0!That's how West Ham scored when they hosted Arsenal that night, and under David Moyes, West Ham finally won their first game of 73 games, beating Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea.
Even West Ham fans didn't expect their team to pick up the three points before the game began, and although West Ham are in their prime, they clearly don't have enough confidence in front of Arsenal. In addition, David Moyes led his side to a 72-game unbeaten run against the Premier League's semi-finals, a record that has made it difficult for West Ham supporters to trust them. But records need to be broken, and Moyes proved his innocence on this night.
Soucek sent the ball to Arsenal in the first half. Mikel Arteta's men are not in a desperate situation and they are at 0-1 with plenty of time for Arsenal to catch up and overtake them.
Mavropanos put Arsenal in a desperate situation with a beautiful goal in the second half, sending his team-mate to goal, and the whole Arsenal were silent, even Mikel Arteta waited in place for more than ten minutes until the Arsenal manager remembered that he wanted a change. But no matter what he did, Arsenal had no chance of turning the tables around and lost 2-0 in the end.
Arsenal also created a huge stain on the night. According to the data, in the history of 2016-2017, only two teams with more than 30 goals scored in a single goal have lost in the league, and both records belong to Arsenal. Arsenal lost 3-1 to Manchester United after scoring 33 times in the 2017 season, in which De Gea single-handedly stopped all of Arsenal's attacks and became a legend. Arsenal also had 30 shots on goal against West Ham United, but they were also beaten by each other, which was a tragedy.
Unlike Arteta, Moyes has a big smile on his face. Counting the 2-0 defeat to Manchester United some time ago, in just six days, West Ham has doubled and beaten the top two, and is no longer the target of bullying by other super teams.
The match, 2:0, changed the fortunes of the three clubs.
1. Arsenal lost the title in the standings, and if West Ham were defeated, Arsenal could overtake Liverpool and return to the top of the league table, but now, their hopes are dashed.
2. Liverpool is currently two points ahead and continues to hold the leading position in the standings. If the Reds can be consistent in the rest of the competition, they will be at the top of the table for a long time.
3. After West Ham won, they moved into sixth place and they had a chance to hit the last four. Although they are now four points clear of fourth-placed Manchester City, it will not be difficult for West Ham to progress to the top four if they can maintain that momentum.
They beat Arsenal and indirectly helped Manchester City, who are now three points behind Arsenal and have a chance to overtake them at any time. Arsenal's performance was disappointing, with City winning one of their six games and having had plenty of time to try for the win, but couldn't take it. Arsenal have won the Premier League again this season, but they are likely to miss out on another Premier League title!
