Arsenal regained fourth spot in the Premier League with a victory at West Ham, denting the Hammers’ chances of securing European football next season.
The Gunners needed only a win to lift them back into the fourth position after Tottenham beat Leicester earlier in the afternoon, but Arteta boys secured the vital three points at London Stadium.
Gabriel Magalhaes nodded in the winner early in the second half after Rob Holding had opened the scoring..
Jarrod Bowen pulled back earlier for the Hammers to level just before the break.
The defeat leaves West Ham seventh, three points behind sixth-placed Manchester United with three games remaining.
