Arsenal 0-1 West Ham

Sky Sports' Laura Hunter:

"Credit must go to West Ham for a game plan well executed. As poor and ponderous as Arsenal have been, the visitors have delivered a vintage away performance. Snatch and grab vibes. Big thumbs up from the boss!"

Arsenal 0-1 West Ham

Sky Sports' Nick Wright at the Emirates Stadium:

"Seeing replays of the goal here. It's so poor from Arsenal. Calafiori lacklustre in trying to stop the cross, Gabriel missing the chance to cut it out at the near post, and Rice failing to properly track Bowen's run.

"Potter on course for his fourth win in five visits to the Emirates Stadium. If it stays like this, Liverpool will have the chance to move 11 points clear with a win at Man City tomorrow. Yikes."

Arsenal 0-1 West Ham

Sky Sports' Laura Hunter:

"Playing Mikel Merino as a make-do No 9 was never going to be the long-term solution. That much is evident. But options are fairly limited from an Arsenal perspective. Much more needed from Odegaard. Rice has caused brief scares with his off-the-ball running but all too fleeting."

HT! A curious half from Arsenal. They have work to do.

But more joy for Graham Potter at the Emirates.

He loves this ground.

Paul Merson on Soccer Saturday:

"I said this would be a sticky, difficult game for Arsenal - they look really lost and out of ideas.

"Wan-Bissaka does great to get down the right and Bowen is there four yards out with a diving header and he cannot miss."

Arsenal 0-1 West Ham

Sky Sports' Nick Wright at the Emirates Stadium:

"Wild celebrations in the away end. Arsenal fans heading for the concourses early. Wan-Bissaka has been a menace all game. He gets away from Calafiori and Bowen ghosts into the box unmarked for an easy header. Huge task for Arsenal now. Liverpool will like what they are seeing..."

GOAL! Arsenal 0-1 West Ham (Bowen, 44)

Arsenal sucker-punched.

Mikel Arteta is furious on the touchline.

This is vintage West Ham.

Bowen starts the move and finishes it, releasing Wan-Bissaka before running the length of the pitch to plant the cross beyond Raya with a diving header.

Superb goal on the break, but question marks over the defending. Where were Gabriel and Saliba??

Arsenal 0-0 West Ham

Sky Sports' Nick Wright at the Emirates Stadium:

"West Ham are defending their box really well. Arsenal are getting into dangerous positions but hitting a wall of defenders every time."

Calafiori's threaded pass was good too.

Arsenal 0-0 West Ham

Odegaard hammers wastefully wide.

Arsenal 0-0 West Ham

Sky Sports' Nick Wright at the Emirates Stadium:

"Odegaard tries to gee up the crowd during a break in play. It's all bit flat from Arsenal. 'Go forward!' yells one fan near us in the press box as Timber plays a pass back to Saliba. West Ham proving difficult to break down."

Sky Sports' Nick Wright at the Emirates Stadium:

"West Ham looking the more dangerous side right now. A bit of frustration setting in among the home fans."

Paul Merson on Soccer Saturday:

"West Ham are back in this - if they pick the right pass, they will get in."

Arsenal 0-0 West Ham

Paul Merson on Soccer Saturday:

"Arsenal are starting to play a lot better now, they have been the better team, but you can tell they do not have a forward, they are lacking cutting edge."

Arsenal 0-0 West Ham

Sky Sports' Nick Wright at the Emirates Stadium:

"That all started with an incisive forward pass from Todibo near the West Ham box. The centre-back is showing his quality on the ball, inviting Arsenal to press him then playing around them. Good stuff from the visitors."

Arsenal 0-0 West Ham

A frustrated Ruben Amorim told Sky Sports "my job is so, so hard here", after seeing Manchester United beaten 1-0 at Tottenham.

The defeat leaves United 15th in the Premier League table, with just four wins from Amorim's 14 top-flight games in charge.

There is hope of success in the FA Cup and Europa League but with injuries reducing Amorim's options on Sunday and consistent poor form since he took over in November, the scale of the task on his hands appears huge.

"What you see guys and what you discuss every week, I also see," he said. "I have a lot of problems, my job is so, so hard here. But I stick with my beliefs."

Assessing the performance at Spurs - who celebrated a first win at home in the league in eight games - Amorim said United's display was badly affected by losing a string of first-team players in the past week.

Leny Yoro, Kobbie Mainoo, Christian Eriksen, Manuel Ugarte and Amad Diallo were among the missing men in north London, with Amad likely out for the season with an injury sustained in training.

"In the end, they score, we didn't," Amorim told Sky Sports. "That was the big difference in the game. We had a lot of chances but in the end they scored one and we didn't.

"The first step is to create situations. We have had games where we are around the box and not created situations. This game we create situations. But in this game with two teams not doing well, one goal was always going to make the difference.

"You start with one idea. We were asking about a long week for so long. And we worked our principles but day after day you lose players that change your approach to the game. I could not play the same way with Joshua [Zirkzee] as I can with Amad [Diallo].

"Sometimes you want Bruno [Fernandes] to reach the ball in the build-up because he's really good switching the play. But then you want Bruno also to press and it's really hard. And when you are changing all the time to get the players to react to the base, it's really hard."

Neville: A really poor United team

Although injury and illness have hit United, Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville says the longer-term view suggests there has been little improvement since Amorim arrived at the club just over 20 games ago.

"The club will have to be patient but I would like to see the performance levels getting higher," he said. "This is a very average level that United are performing at week in, week out.

"The bigger concern is that the players are not demonstrating in this system in any of the 20 matches that Amorim has had so far that there is an entertainment and performance level to this system.

"The best thing about it [Amorim's time in charge] has been his press conferences.

"This is a really poor United team."

'Amorim needs minimum two or three windows'

Neville also highlighted the mismatch between the demands of Amorim's 3-4-3 formation and the players at his disposal, with the United boss showing no signs of adapting his own style to suit his team.

Speaking on the Gary Neville Podcast, Neville said: "Ruben Amorim is going to die in a ditch on this, he's said 'I'm not going to change'. He's going to play 3-4-3. It just didn't work.

"I understand Amorim's problems, he's got the players he's got, lots of young players on the bench, but there must be a different solution. There are different ways of dealing with it. For United not to score when Spurs don't have three of their first-choice back four, I'm amazed.

"[Alejandro] Garnacho had some really big chances and that's where the game was. At the end it was just relief for Spurs. It's a long way back for United, it's all been said, there's nothing more to say.

"It's a peculiar system and how long will it take Amorim to find the players to play it? You're asking for specialists. It's going to be a minimum of two or three transfers windows."

Russo helps Arsenal thump Spurs

Alessia Russo produced a player-of-the-match display as Arsenal thrashed north London rivals Tottenham 5-0 in front of 55,784 fans at the Emirates.

How the teams lined up | Match stats

The England striker caused havoc all afternoon for the visiting defence, firstly getting on the end of Kyra Cooney-Cross' centre to seemingly open the scoring on the quarter-hour mark, only for it to go down as a Clare Hunt own goal after her header took a nick off the Spurs defender on its way into the net at the far post.

Maria Caldentey's piledriver deservedly doubled the home side's lead 10 minutes before half-time, before Frida Maanum's shot took a massive deflection off the unfortunate Hunt as the Gunners wet 3-0 up six minutes into the second half, with Russo the provider.

Fittingly, it was Russo who added a fourth just before the hour mark, collecting Caitlin Foord's pass, before finding the bottom corner with a low drive, although the best strike was left for last.

Not closed down, US right-back Emily Fox decided to try her luck from distance, finding the top corner for her first WSL goal as Renee Slegers's side stayed in touch with champions Chelsea at the top of the table.

Late James strike sees Chelsea edge Everton

A last-minute goal from Lauren James secured a 2-1 win for Chelsea against Everton at Kingsmeadow, re-establishing their seven-point lead at the top of the WSL.

The first half was a tight affair - although the Blues thought they had taken the lead early on, but the officials deemed the ball had not crossed all the way over the line.

It ended with just one shot on target from Chelsea and none of any note from Everton.

But the Toffees - who were knocked out of the FA Cup by Chelsea last weekend - took the lead in the 51st minute. It was a fine run from Kelly Gago as her diagonal effort fizzed into the far corner.

But the lead only lasted nine minutes. The Everton area was packed throughout, but Mayra Ramirez was able to spin past her defender to find an inch before her low shot beat Courtney Brosnan at close range.

Chelsea continued to press for the winner - with Everton also providing tests on the counter - and the Toffees defence was finally breached in the third of four added minutes. James was offered too much space 25 yards out and her sweeping finish saw the Blues to a ninth win in a row in all competitions.

Man Utd come through Palace test

Elisabeth Terland scored twice as Man Utd were made to work for a 3-1 victory over bottom side Crystal Palace.

Palace goalkeeper Milla-Maj Majasaari endured a difficult afternoon, gifting Terland a relatively straightforward early opener, but the visitors made a contest of things thereafter.

Lily Woodham engineered a first-half equaliser when her lofted pass found Mille Gejl in space, racing away down the left before beating Phallon Tullis-Joyce at her near post - only the sixth time Man Utd have been breached all season.

Plucky Palace also had an effort turned off the line after the break but weren't able to stop their hosts at the opposite end, conceding to Terland's eighth WSL goal of the season and a bullet header from Grace Clinton late on.

Majasaari mistakenly attempted to collect Ella Toone's high free-kick only to be beaten to the ball by Clinton, who made a perfect connection to seal all three points for Marc Skinner's side and maintain their WSL standing in second.

Palace stay rooted to the foot of the table with six points from 14 played.

Foxes see off Villa to move away from drop zone

Leicester boosted their survival hopes after beating Aston Villa 3-0 at the King Power thanks to goals either side of half-time from Janice Cayman.

The skipper's well-taken opener came just before the half-hour mark, while her second four minutes into the second half is a goal-of-the-season contender, a thumping 25-yard volley that flew into the net.

And the home side sealed the three points when just two minutes later, Julie Thibaud nodded home from close range as the Foxes moved them up to tenth place, six points clear of the relegation zone.

West Ham cruise to victory vs Brighton

West Ham secured an impressive 3-1 win against Brighton following an impressive second-half performance from Rehanne Skinner's side.

The two teams headed into the break level pegging at 1-1 after Shekiera Martinez's opener for the Hammers was quickly cancelled out by Nikita Parris sweeping home the equaliser less than two minutes after falling behind, to record her 99th goal involvement in the WSL.

Despite an even game before the break, the fixture quickly unravelled for Brighton after the restart.

Riko Ueki restored the lead for Skinner's side before Viviane Asseyi went down in the area and stepped up to take the penalty with just over 20 minutes to go.

West Ham now move up into eighth place in the table, while Brighton squander the chance to close the gap on fourth-placed Manchester City.
