West Ham Beats Arsenal, Dents Title Hopes

Arsenal's Premier League title hopes suffered a significant setback after a 1-0 home defeat to West Ham, exacerbated by Myles Lewis-Skelly's red card in the 73rd minute, leaving them eight points behind Liverpool. Jarrod Bowen scored the decisive goal just before halftime, capitalizing on a long run and cross from Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Arsenal struggled offensively, managing only two shots on target, with key players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus sidelined due to injuries. The defeat allows Liverpool the chance to extend their lead if they win against Manchester City. Manager Mikel Arteta expressed anger and responsibility for the team's performance, emphasizing the need to address both disciplinary issues and injuries. Meanwhile, West Ham's manager Graham Potter secured a rare win at Emirates, further complicating Arsenal's path to title recovery.
