However, the North London club manages to overcome the deficit and credits to Nicolas Pepe’s brilliant goal, which made Arsenal imprint their first win in December.

David Martin who had a phenomenal debut against Chelsea was absolutely short of luck against Arsenal, as he conceded three goals against the local rivals.
Pepe’s goal would not have that relevance if the 18-year-old Gabriel Martinelli had not scored the equalizer in the crucial phase of the game. Thus, Pepe’s goal totally broke the Hammers and made Arsenal taste its first victory in two months.
Further, Aubameyang’s goal later sealed the victory for the Gunners as the visitors guarded their goal well enough to not allow West Ham to make any last-minute equalizer.
