Priceless for Arsenal, ending a run of nine without a victory.
Most notably, they've scored with all three shots on target tonight, although their xG is more than twice as high as West Ham's.
They did have fewer touches in the opposition box, 64% of possession from Arsenal tonight, the second highest figure they've had away from home this season.
Rafa Benitez is here with us on the Monday Night Football tonight and lots to come from him on his career, Liverpool, Newcastle and much, much more.
But Rafa, when you're watching that game tonight and you see the turnaround at half-time, do you think that it's something tactical that's happened?
Is it just a case of attitude?
How do you see it?
I think they were lucky with the first goal, I would say that.
And after they changed their attitude, they have more belief, more confidence, and they were attacking even more.
But you were asking me about how to manage.
I think both teams, they have to go back to the principles and then start defending well.
And then you could see the problems of West Ham.
It's not that Arsenal was amazing in changing the pace of the game or something like that.
It's just that they were making mistakes and then little by little, the quality of the Arsenal players made a difference.
How did they get back in it then, Jamie?
Yeah, I agree with you 100%.
So, for me, it's just the players they were going...
One of them is going to press and the other one has to adjust the position.
Always, you have to think that they are working as a couple.
So he goes there, he has to follow.
