Arsenal’s defense tested as West Ham pushes for dominance in crucial Premier League match.

The second half begins with West Ham applying immediate pressure on Arsenal, who look to defend their title aspirations. In the 48th minute, a careless header from Arsenal’s Rob Holding sends the ball in the wrong direction, allowing West Ham’s Antonio to break down the left flank. Despite the threat, the cross into the box is too deep, and the danger fades as no West Ham players can capitalize.

Just moments before, a long throw from West Ham’s Vladimír Coufal put Arsenal under heavy pressure. West Ham won the initial aerial battle, and although the second ball went out for a corner, the pressure continued to mount. Jarrod Bowen’s corner was a good one, but Rob Holding managed to clear it, albeit only as far as another corner. West Ham’s set-piece deliveries keep Arsenal on edge, but for now, they remain resolute.
