Jarrod Bowen scored the decisive goal late in the first half, heading in an Aaron Wan-Bissaka cross after starting the move himself.

Their task became even harder when Myles Lewis-Skelly was sent off following a VAR review for a last-man foul on Mohammed Kudus.
West Ham comfortably held on, ending their four-match winless run and moving level on points with Manchester United, while Arsenal remain eight points behind Liverpool.
