MADRID, 15 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Arsenal got into the positions that give access to the Champions League this Wednesday after beating West Ham United (1-0) in a direct duel for fourth place, a London derby resolved with goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith Rowe, in a match belonging to matchday 17 of the Premier League.
The ‘Gunners’, who add three consecutive victories, continue to rise in the domestic tournament and this Wednesday they lowered the fumes to their neighbor. They had to wait for the second half, but Mikel Arteta’s pupils ended up finding their way to the goal. Martinelli -at 48 minutes- was in charge of opening the account with a right hand adjusted to the furthest post.
Already in the aftermath of the match, Smith-Rowe achieved the final 2-0, but before that Lacazette missed a penalty for the home team and Coufal was sent off in the hammers with 20 minutes to go. Arsenal’s triumph places it fourth with one point more than its victim this Wednesday.
In addition, in the rest of the games, Wolwerhaptom is still installed in the noble part of the table – eighth position – after beating Brighton; while Crystal Palace and Southampton tied (2-2) at Selhurst Park. The clash between Burnley and Watford was postponed by a COVID-19 outbreak in the visiting team.
