Highlights.
Against Arsenal, Ollie Scarles became the first defender to make 6+ tackles and 6+ interceptions in a Premier League game since Luke Thomas vs. Tottenham in May 2021.
West Ham won this exact fixture 2-0 last season – they last won at Arsenal in consecutive campaigns in 2005-06/2006-07, when they became the last team to beat the Gunners at Highbury, and then the first to do so at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal’s defeat ended their 15-game unbeaten run in the Premier League, while it was also the first time they’ve lost a Saturday 3pm game in the competition since April 2022 against Southampton (W14 D3 before today).
West Ham have won just two of their last eight Premier League games (D1 L5). under Graham Potter, they’ve lost 3 of their last four London derbies.
Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly was sent off for the second time in the Premier League, though his first was eventually overturned. He’s the third teenager to be sent off twice in the competition (also Richard Dunne and Steven Taylor), and the first to do so before turning 19.
West Ham manager Graham Potter has won four of his five games against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium. Only Pep Guardiola (8) and Jürgen Klopp (6) have won more at the ground as a visiting manager, while his 80% win rate is the highest of any away manager with 3+ games.
Arsenal have now received five red cards in the Premier League this season, the most by any side:
- Declan Rice vs. Brighton (49’)
- Leandro Trossard vs. Manchester City (45+8)
- William Saliba vs. Bournemouth (30’)
- Myles Lewis-Skelly vs. Wolves (43’)
- Myles Lewis-Skelly vs. West Ham (73’)
