3-1, Premier League, Emirates Stadium, 15 April 2014
Podolski 44, 78
Giroud 55
We are unfortunately in a situation where we will, most likely, have to win all the rest of our games this season in order to qualify for the Champions League (by secure the 4th spot). Fortunately we are off to a good start, winning whilst Everton dropped points!
West Ham looked quite dangerous in the first half, grabbing several mildly threatening chances before their goal. Szczesny made the initial save by the rebound went past him to Jarvis, who headed the ball into the back of the net. Luckily we came up with a quick response, just a minute before half-time! Cazorla produced a fast-paced pass into the box that was met by Lukas Podolski, who instantly smashed it past the 'keeper! A quick and resolute response that would eventually lead us to victory!
Merely ten minutes into the second half we grabbed the lead that we would keep for the rest of the game. Vermaelen provided the amazing assist, coming from half a pitch away, but even more brilliant was Olivier Giroud's first touch and perfect strike to hit the back of the net! The Frenchman then played a part in the final goal, as he played the ball into the box, which was then headed onwards by Ramsey to Lukas Podolski, who once again came up with a powerful shot that soared past the 'keeper, effectively sealing the win!
We have it all in our own hands now, so let's just make sure to win the rest of the games then!
