SENSATIONAL GOAL! West Ham United 1-2 Arsenal (Pepe 69)

) were a complete shambles less than ten minutes ago. Now they’re in the lead, and scoring magical goals! Aubameyang slips a pass wide right for Pepe, who shuffles into the box, makes a little bit of space away from Masuaku, and curls an unstoppable shot across Martin and into the top left! The keeper had absolutely no chance with that.

They can’t get it, but trot off down the tunnel looking fairly content. They’re minutes away from a confidence-restoring win.Arsenalby contrast look miserable; they’ve been a lightweight non-event. “You know how we always used to get irritated by the ‘hey guys, remember Spangles?’ Crowd who would forever be banging on about irrelevant minutiae from the 72 s? ”asks Tom Atkins, in the rhetorical style. “You always become the thing you hate the most. That said, Villa is Mita Copiers, Man City always Brother, and Ipswich obviously Fisons. I also think we need an adjudication on Crown Paints vs Candy for Liverpool. ”

min:This is preposterous. VAR takes nearly two minutes to work out whether Ogbonna had headed the ball onto his outstretched fist, en route to the goal via Maitland-Niles ’back. It was nowhere near, but it took them about replays to decide. Anyway, it’s all good. Whither spontaneous joy?

Cresswell wins a corner down the left. He hoicks it long. Some pinball. Noble takes a whack. More pinball. Rice flicks the ball towards Fornals, to the right of the six-yard box. He dinks it back in. Ogbonna wants it the most, and his desire wins out. His header, towards the top left, twangs off Maitland-Niles ’back and into the top right, past the wrong-footed Leno.
