The Upton Park Faithful are already filing out with 15 minutes left to play as a Robin van Persie penalty has just put the Gunners 0-3 up. Wayne Bridge, recently acquired from Manchester City, has had a woeful debut for West Ham by directly influencing all three of Arsenal's goals.
West Ham United Vs. Arsenal: Poor Wayne Bridge Concedes Penalty Which Robin Van Persie Converts
This time, Bridge fouled Theo Walcott in the box which gave the referee an easy decision in awarding a penalty as Bridge lay in shame on the Upton Park pitch. Van Persie stepped up and slotted low and to the left which gave Robert Green, who guessed correctly, little chance in making a save.
It's been a poor display from the Premier League's last place team at home. West Ham have only slightly tested Wojciech Szczesny on the day and have gifted Arsenal too much space and time on the ball when the Gunners are in possession. With what is now a sure three points in the bag, Arsenal move to 43 points which is just one behind second place Manchester United.
