Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was not happy after his club suffered a heartbreaking 1-0 defeat to lowly West Ham on Saturday.

Arsenal had the chance to close the gap to Liverpool to five points with a win over the Hammers but instead fell to a 1-0 defeat thanks to Jarrod Bowen's first-half goal

Arsenal’s 1-0 defeat to West Ham at the Emirates Stadium saw Mikel Arteta’s hopes of winning the Premier League title take a hit. Jarrod Bowen loves playing against Arsenal, which made the match-winning goal all the more frustrating as the Gunners failed to eliminate the danger.

White, hailed as ‘sensational’ by Tony Cascarino while speaking on The Game Football Podcast in October, had to play almost every game last season because of injury issues to Jurrien Timber and Takehiro Tomiyasu. That took its toll and he went down earlier this campaign.

Mikel Arteta said he hopes his Arsenal players “suffer” for the rest of the weekend after a performance that left him “very, very angry”. Arsenal lost 1-0 at home to West Ham on Saturday in a defeat which damaged their title chances.
