Result: Arsenal 2 - 0 West Ham

Kanouté: What's the problem?

West Ham had the better chances in the first half, although they had many less than the Champions elect. The most notable of which was a Fredi Kanouté effort which actually went over the line before Ashley Cole cleared it.

However the assistant referee made a catastrophic error, and didn't award the goal - which was clearly over the line and the television replays confirmed it. How long will it be before someone introduces TV refs?

The second half was more Arsenal though, and their dominance showed when on 77 minutes Freddy Ljunberg put scored a well made goal. A post goal lapse in concentration saw Kanu score a second minutes later.
