Arsenal’s Failure On The Road Continues
The gunners were unable to get all three points on Wednesday evening when they played WestHam United at the Olympic Stadium in London. They ended up drawing the game 0-0. WestHam could have run away with all 3 points in the last minutes of the game as substitute Hernandez hit the crossbar with his effort from inside the box.
The Gunners have gotten just 6 points out of a total 24 away from home and see themselves slide down to 7th position on the league table.
Wenger reverted to a 4-2-3-1 formation, introducing Maitland Niles in place of the underperforming Sead Kolasinac, Jack Wilshere also came in to replace the injured Ramsey, while Olivier Giroud and Alex Iwobi also got the nod. Top scorer Alexandre Lacazette could only settle for a place on the bench but later came in to replace Alexis Sanchez in the 83rd minute.
The Gunners could only manage 3 shots on target out of an attempted 22. That is a very terrible return for any team with the desire to win a game. The two positives that could be gotten from the game were the performances of Jack Wilshere and Niles.
