The world football governing body has suspended three federations over what it terms ‘serious circumstances’.
The Gunners struggled throughout the match, particularly in the first half where their only notable chance came from Riccardo Calafiori.
In contrast, West Ham created several opportunities, with Bowen’s diving header proving to be the match-winner.
West Ham United proved too difficult for Arsenal at the Emirates.
Arsenal’s woes were compounded when substitute Myles Lewis-Skelly received a red card for a reckless foul in the 73rd minute, leaving them with ten men as they sought an equaliser.
After the game, football expert Tobi Adepoju criticised Arsenal supporters in the wake of the defeat, stating that they dislike the truth.
Arsenal failed to take advantage of Liverpool’s slip.
He expressed his frustration on social media, suggesting that Arsenal fans often deceive themselves with false hopes regarding their team’s title chances.
“I like Arsenal fans; they like to deceive themselves and give fake hope. They dislike the truth,” Adepoju remarked, highlighting the disillusionment surrounding the club’s current form.
Despite pushing for a goal in the second half, Arsenal’s efforts fell short. The loss leaves them eight points behind league leaders Liverpool, and if Liverpool secure a win against Manchester City in their upcoming match, the gap could widen to eleven points, jeopardizing Arsenal’s title hopes.
This defeat marks a critical juncture for Mikel Arteta’s side as they grapple with injuries and dwindling momentum in their pursuit of Premier League glory.
