Arsenal came from three goals down to claw a dramatic draw against Westham in a pulsating London derby.
Westham sprung into the lead courtesy of their loan signing Jesse Lingard, who found the opener and set up his team’s second.

In the 32nd minute, Thomas Soucek made it 3-0 and the game looked well beyond Mikel Arteta’s side, but drama was only beginning.
Soucek was on the scoresheet yet again but this time on the wrong end as his own goal provided Arsenal with a way back into the game after some great work from Lacazette.
There was yet another own goal, this time Craig Pawson the culprit as Arsenal reduced the deficit to just one goal.
Lacazette completed the comeback with a thumping header from Nicolas Pepe’s cross.
Westham will look at the game with a sour taste in their mouths as they were guilty of failing to manage the game when they were three goals up.
For Arsenal, the show of character after an extremely sloppy start to the game came with its reward as they climbed to ninth on the log.
They sit seven points behind Westham in fifth place, who went on 49 points after the draw.
