ARSENAL’S season started with defeat as West Ham won their first Premier League game under manager Slaven Bilic.Keeper Petr Cech misjudged Dimitri Payet’s free-kick to allow Cheikhou Kouyate to nod in the Hammers’ first.
After the break, Mauro Zarate finished from 20 yards after being gifted the ball by the Gunners defence.
Arsenal had 62% of possession, but put just six of 22 shots on target, as Aaron Ramsey’s first-half effort against the bar was the closest they came.
Relive Arsenal’s frustration as West Ham take the points. Of course they could not have done it without 16-year-old Reece Oxford’s top bracket performance.
