View West Ham United v Arsenal head to head

This was the last London derby to be played at Upton Park. Kick-off: 12.45pm Arsenal went two up with excellent goals from Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez and looked to be cruising before Andy Carroll scored a seven minute hat-trick. Arsenal fought back for a point with a goal from Laurent Koscielny. Both Carroll and Gabriel could have been sent off for petulant fouls. A hugely entertaining game which reduced Arsenal's title chances yet further, underlined their problems in the air in the box and gave Andy Carroll hope he may yet make the England squad for Euro 2016.

Comments:

League position: 6th Andy Carroll's hat-trick was the fastest in the Premier League so far this season at seven minutes and 14 seconds. West Ham United were now unbeaten in their last 14 Premier League home games (won seven). They were now unbeaten in 14 top division home games to equal their club record set in 1985-86 and 1997-98. Andy Carroll scored in the second minute of added time in the first half. Michail Antonio was booked in the third minute of added time in the second half. The Premier League’s Goal Accreditation Panel ruled on the following: - West Ham United’s second goal against Arsenal on Saturday 9th April 2016 has been confirmed as an Andrew Carroll goal. - West Ham United’s third goal against Arsenal on Saturday 9th April 2016 has been confirmed as an Andrew Carroll goal. (Circular 20 – 15th April 2016)

Comments:

League position: 3rd This was the first time in the Premier League since 10 November 2012 (versus Fulham) that Arsenal had led by two goals and failed to win the match. That game also ended 3-3. The Gunners had taken six points from a possible 21 against London teams in this Premier League season.
