What were the key moments in Arsenal's victory over West Ham?
Well, the game at the Emirates was very much in the balance before an awful defensive mix-up for West Ham gave Aaron Ramsey that goal. Confusion between Declan Rice and Joe Hart made it 2-1 for Arsenal. Lacazette then putting the game really beyond doubt. And then Ramsey serving up Lacazette for his 13th of the season. 4-1 it finished. Delight for Arsene Wenger in his penultimate home league game in charge. And now Aaron Ramsey is with Jeff Shreves. Aaron, right result for Arsenal, but a completely different second half to the first half. What did you put that down to? Yeah, we took a bit of time to get going. It was very hot out there, but I don't want to make excuses. We wasn't quite at it, but we stayed in the game.
It was 0-0, so it was important for us to come out second half and put that right. So we're delighted in the end to come away with a convincing win.
Your goal puts you in the top 10 goal scorers under Arsene Wenger.
Be honest though, when it left your foot, did you think it was going in? No, it was for over, but I'm glad he left it. I'll take that. I'm delighted on a personal note, but more importantly, we got the three points today. What has it been like for you the last 48 hours, absorbing the news of Arsene Wenger's departure? Yeah, obviously it's really tough to take from the group of lads. Yeah, he's believed in us, he's backed us and given us all these opportunities over the years, especially for me. He's brought me here as a 17-year-old, so I owe him a lot, but he deserves everything that he gets, all the applauded and all the recognition of all the great work he's done here over the years, and hopefully we can finish off the season on a high for him.
Also, for you players, is there now an uncertainty?
You're playing for your futures too, as well as wanting to give him the send-off you would like. Yeah, we're not thinking about who's coming in next. It's more about doing it for him now. Hopefully, we can win every single game and finish off with a cup. That would be the perfect send-off for him. Thanks, Aaron.
How did Aaron Ramsey reflect on his goal and Wenger's departure?
Cheers. Thank you. And you join Craig Bellamy, Thierry Henry and Jamie Redknapp here pitch side at the Etihad where this place will be full later. They haven't had the chance to celebrate, remember, in front of their own fan city since becoming champions last Sunday. So they get the chance here today against Swansea City. We kick off at half past four, about an hour from now in that game. Plenty of time to reflect on Arsenal's certainly second half performance there against West Ham United. Was that much better, much improved second time round?
Yeah, it was much better. I think for an hour or so, 65 minutes, you kind of didn't know where the game was going to go. Arnautovic scored a well-deserved goal, I think, because he played really well and you could see that West Ham was going to score or deserved maybe to score from their first half. And then in the second half, typical Arsenal, they scored that goal from Aaron Ramsey. I won't say that it's a lucky goal because it's still a good cross that you have to put in, but misunderstanding between the goalkeeper and Rice, draw out, obviously, and Rice. And they went 2-1. And when that happens with Arsenal, five minutes to go and you collapse... You put two more or three more minutes there, they would have had a fifth one or a sixth one.
So it looks great at the end, but overall it's also a good one for the boss. They gave him a win and like I said at the beginning of the game, it was also about creating that gap with Burnley. I know people are laughing about it, but creating that gap with Burnley, that's good for me.
just takes a bit of pressure off with Burnley still to come in his last home league game in charge for Arsene Wenger let's go right back to the start of the second half it was a it seemed more purposeful Arsenal right from the start even though it was an unlikely goal scorer a man who hadn't scored in four previous seasons Craig you know he's got five this well they stepped it up second half they needed to because first half is way too slow especially West Ham came to frustrate Arsenal they got men behind the ball very easy but
