Arsenal vs West Ham Highlights: EPL Highlights

Alex Song’s late header gave Premier League title chasers Arsenal a narrow victory over West Ham to deny the Hammers’ a much deserved point at Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal had plenty of momentum going into this afternoon’s game after following up impressive Champions League performances with victory at Manchester City in the EPL and marching into the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup by demolishing Newcastle.

But Robert Green, in front of watching England manager Fabio Capello, had pulled off a string of fine saves to keep the Gunners at bay. However, with just two minutes left, Song dived to head home Gael Clichy’s stunning cross as Arsene Wenger’s improving side kept up the pressure on leaders Chelsea.

West Ham United vs Fulham Highlights

West Ham were pushed to the bottom of the Premier League table despite battling back from Clint Dempsey’s goal to salvage a point in the London derby against Fulham.

Dempsey, who humiliated Green 112 days ago at the World Cup, heaped misery on him when he beat England goalkeeper from 12 yards with a volley after 32 minutes as Fulham ended a bruising first half 1-0 up.

Any hopes of a first league away win for Fulham in 13 months were dashed by Frederic Piquionne, who leapt unmarked in the box to nod past Mark Schwarzer.

Wigan’s win over Wolves, and Everton’s first win of the season at Birmingham mean the Hammers dropped back to the bottom of the table despite extending their unbeaten run in all competitions to four matches.
