League position: 3rd Arsenal had now won eight consecutive home Premier League games for the first time since November 2005. That was a 13-game sequence when they were housed at Highbury. Olivier Giroud scored in the first minute of added time in the first half. This made it five goals in five games against West Ham United. The Premier League’s Goal Accreditation Panel ruled on the following: - Arsenal’s first goal against West Ham United on Saturday 14th March 2015 has been confirmed as an Olivier Giroud goal. (Circular 23 – 19th March 2015)

Comments:

League position: 10th West Ham United had now just one win in the last 12 Premier League matches; five drawn and six lost. The Hammers' last victory against Arsenal was a 1-0 win at the Emirates Stadium on 7 April 2007.
