Arsenal vs West Ham United

1. 94'

   That's it. Arsenal comfortably had too much for West Ham and, despite looking nervous to start, showed good character to take the win but they must build on that now.

2. 93'

   Podolski is forced wide by Tomkins as he tries to shape for a shooting opportunity. In the build-up to that move Giroud was caught on his ankle and is limping.

3. 92'

   Ramsey attempts to play Giroud in on goal before having a go himself but his effort is saved by Adrian.

4. 91'

   Ramsey is clattered to the ground by Vaz Te and wins a free kick.

5. 90'

   Four minutes to be added on as Arsenal look to climb back into fourth place.

6. 89'

   Vaz Te tries to pick out Joe Cole in the box, but his cross-field pass is ridiculously high considering the height of his target. The ball is cheered out of play by the Arsenal fans.

7. 88'

   Jenkinson is involved immediately but his cross from the right is directly at Reid and easily cleared.

8. 87'

   <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Carl Jenkinson replaces Cazorla as Arsene Wenger looks to shore up the win with minutes remaining. Cazorla has been near his best tonight dictating the pace of play.

9. 86'

   Giroud tries to take on all comers down the left wing but fails to keep the ball and is tackled easily.

10. 85'

    Podolski fouls Demel on the edge of West Ham's area and gives away a cheap free kick.

11. 84'

    Carlton Cole almost has an immediate impact but directs his header from Nocerino's right wing cross over the bar.

12. 83'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Carlton Cole replaces Andy Carroll. West Ham now have a completely different front three to the one which started the match, and a far inferior one if truth be told.

13. 82'

    Diame shrugs off Kallstrom but his ball to the left in the direction of Armero goes out of play.

14. 80'

    It is West Ham's turn to look bereft of ideas and nervous going forward. Arsenal are harrying them all over the pitch now.

15. 79'

    Joe Cole is unable to reach the ball down the right byline but does win a throw in from Vermaelen.

16. 78'

    Arsenal streaming forward confidently in numbers, and looking a completely different side to the nervous one which started the game.

17. 77'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Ricardo Vaz Te and Joe Cole enter the fray for West Ham in place of Downing and Jarvis but it will take a gargantuan effort for the visitors to fight back now.

18. 76'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Some great passing interplay results in Podolski again finishing expertly from close range after West Ham are hypnotised and Ramsey cushion-headers Giroud's left wing cross into the path of the German.

19. 75'

    Ramsey finds space open in front of him outside the box, but the shot shows clear rust and is high over the bar.

20. 74'

    Nocerino's stray pass is picked up by Vermaelen who attempts to bomb forward. Nothing comes of it but Arsenal retain the ball and try a more patient approach.

21. 73'

    Noble's free kick is wasted, aimed at Carroll but straight into the hands of Szczesny. West Ham's obvious limitations in attack beginning to prove their undoing.

22. 72'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Rosicky, who has looked off the pace, is withdrawn for Aaron Ramsey.

23. 71'

    Downing wins a free kick after being fouled by Vermaelen.
