Arsenal dealt with by former player in 2-0 loss to West Ham

Former Arsenal man Konstantinos Mavropanos, gave the Gunners a night to forget netting a beauty in West Ham’s 2-0 win at Emirates Stadium.

The defeat deals a potential blow to his former club’s title aspirations.

Mavropanos who joined West Ham last summer after a stint with Arsenal, made a huge impact in the game, ensuring West Ham sealed all three points.

The game saw West Ham take the lead with a goal from Tomas Soucek, which came amidst controversial VAR decisions.

Despite Arsenal’s efforts to equalize, it was Mavropanos who secured West Ham’s advantage with a well-timed header from a corner.

However, the 26-year-old chose not to celebrate his goal against his former employers, instead opting for a more reserved acknowledgement of his effort.

Meanwhile, West Ham also missed an opportunity to extend their lead to 3-0 when Said Benrahma failed to convert a penalty late in the game.

If Arsenal had won the match, they would have moved to the top of the Premier League table, a position currently held by Liverpool.

Meanwhile, West Ham’s win has now taken them to sixth place in the league, just four points behind the top four teams.
