Arsenal beat West Ham

Arsenal beat West Ham

West Ham 1 - Arsenal 3
Cole 46′         Walcott 68′, 71′ Podolski 79′

 

Theo Walcott scores for Arsenal at West Ham

Theo Walcott struck twice and Lukas Podolski a third as Arsenal came from behind to win at troubled West Ham and move back top of the Premier League.

Arsenal dominated the first half but fell behind as Carlton Cole tapped home after Wojciech Szczesny spilled a shot.
The Hammers wasted chances to double the lead and Walcott equalised with an effort that Adrian should have saved.
Substitute Podolski crossed for Walcott to nod Arsenal ahead before Olivier Giroud teed up Podolski to lash in.
