Result
Sunday’s final Premier League clash played out a short time ago. Said game would see West Ham and Arsenal face off at the London Stadium.
Both sides headed into the game in patchy form, with Arsenal losing three of their last five and West Ham having picked up just one win from five.
However, both outfits needed a victory to keep their European hopes alive. Arsenal are currently competing with Tottenham for 4th spot, whilst West Ham were aware a win on Sunday would have moved them into the Europa League places.
When all was said and done in east London, though, it was Arsenal who came away with a 2-1 win.
Neither side was at the races for much of the first 45, but Arsenal would take the lead when Rob Holding headed in a Bukayo Saka cross.

Arsenal’s lead did not last long, though, with some lacklustre defending allowing Jarrod Bowen to stab home an equaliser shortly before the break.

Gabriel then put the north Londoners back in front 54 minutes in, heading in a Martinelli cross.
West Ham player ratings
Lukasz Fabianski (6) – Made a number of good saves but still conceded twice.
Vladimir Coufal (6) – Good assist for the West Ham equaliser. Kept Martinelli quiet for the most part.
Kurt Zouma (4.5) – Failed to close down Nketiah before his shot that led to an Arsenal corner, which Holding scored from.
Aaron Creswell (5) – Played out of position, but didn’t look that out of place.
Ryan Fredericks (3.5) – Struggled to deal with Saka.
Declan Rice (7.5) – Progressed the ball forward well throughout the game and came close to scoring from a corner but was denied by a good Ramsdale save. Played an excellent ball to Coufal who then set up Bowen.
Mark Nobel (6) – Passing was solid and won a number of key duels.
Manuel Lanzini (2) – Struggled to create much and was outmuscled by Holding for the opener. Also failed to track Gabriel for his goal.
Pablo Fornals (5) – Wasted one of the only decent chances from the first half. Did little else of note.
Said Benrahma (5) – Decent chance half an hour in which was blocked. Struggled to have much of an impact otherwise before he was taken off.
Jarrod Bowen (6) – Gave the ball way 37 minutes in, which led to an Arsenal corner that the away side opened the scoring from. Made up for it a few minutes later by scoring an equaliser, however.
Substitutes
Michail Antonio (3) – Failed to help West Ham find an equaliser.
Tomas Soucek (3) – Largely ineffective display.
Andriy Yarmolenko (N/A)
Arsenal player ratings
Aaron Ramsdale (5) – Made a good save late in the first half to deny Rice. His distribution on the day was not great.
Takehiro Tomiyasu (6) – Solid if uninspiring display from Tomiyasu before he was forced off due to injury.
Rob Holding (7.5) – Made a couple of good blocks and interceptions to deny West Ham and, of course, opened the scoring on the day.
Gabriel (7) – Questionable defensive header nearly led to a Fornals goal. Poor marking of Bowen for his equaliser but then put Arsenal back in front from a corner 54 minutes in.
Nuno Tavares (4) – With Tomiyasu back in the side Tavares was tasked with moving further up the field when Arsenal were in possession to provide an attacking outlet from the left. However, he was not great at this vs West Ham.
The Portuguese was also not fantastic defensively. Should have been tighter to Coufal when he set up Bowen and continued to make decisions that put his teammates in precarious positions.
Mohamed Elneny (5) – Struggled with the offensive side of the game, often resorting to long balls that ended with Arsenal losing possession in the first half. Good ball to Nketiah 71 minutes in but the striker wasted the chance.
Granit Xhaka (5) – Made a number of key passes but did little defensive work.
Bukayo Saka (7.5) – One of the few Arsenal attackers who created anything in the first half, with his marauding runs proving a bit much for Fredericks. Also assisted Holding and won the corner which led to Gabriel’s goal.
Martin Odegaard (5) – Was not at his best on Sunday, struggling to create much and giving the ball away several times.
Gabriel Martinelli (6) – Very ineffective first half, but then set up Gabriel for Arsenal’s second 54 minutes in.
Eddie Nketiah (5) – Hardly touched the ball in the first 45 apart from one chance late in the half which he put little power behind. However, that shot was put out for a corner, which Arsenal scored from. Had a good chance to make it 3-1 72 minutes in but put his shot wide.
Substitutes
Cedric (4) – Did a decent job of filling in for the injured Tomiyasu.
Emile Smith Rowe (N/A)
Albert Sambi Lokonga (N/A)
What the experts said
Bukayo Saka has been directly involved in 17 Premier League goals this season, more than any Arsenal:

What the fans said
HT: West Ham 1-1 Arsenal
Really poor from Arsenal at all ends of the pitch. We were lucky to go ahead with Bobby Holding getting his first ever Premier League goal.
Tavares & Nketiah really need to improve. They’ve been massively off it so far.

This team lacks situational awareness. Up a goal with halftime beckoning and we give it back to them multiple times in our own defensive third.

Tottenham to tackle left-back concern amid Sergio Reguilon uncertainty

After securing Champions League football for next season by finishing fourth in the Premier League, Tottenham is in a strong position to strengthen the first team under popular manager Antonio Conte this summer but may have to contend with the loss of first-choice left-back Sergio Reguilón in the process.
The Spanish international has largely enjoyed a good spell in north London over the last two seasons with Tottenham after arriving from Spanish giants Real Madrid in 2020, but could now be set to part ways with Conte’s side after Football.London’s Alasdair Gold stated that the club feels there is a chance he could move on this summer.

— The Spurs Express (@TheSpursExpress) May 25, 2022
A return to the Spanish capital could be on the cards given the fact that Real does possess a buy-back clause, but there is also rumored interest from Xavi’s Barcelona who is also in the hunt for first-team improvements in Catalunya and could do well to recruit a more long-term option on the left side of the defense part from Jordi Alba.
With Reguilón’s future cast in fresh doubt at Tottenham, recent links to Eintracht Frankfurt’s Filip Kostić now have more clarity after it emerged yesterday that the versatile Serbian attacker was drawing attention from both Conte and club director of football Fabio Paratici.
Kostić just recently helped Die Adler secure a Europa League win at the expense of Glasgow Rangers, but the 29-year-old has just one year left at the club and could certainly be viewed as the ideal Reguilón replacement with his ability to be deployed in a wide variety of roles on the left flank.
After Tottenham received a massive financial boost this summer with an additional £150million of equity being made available to help Conte truly build the first team in his image, one in one out on the left side of the defense could be just the place for the Italian to start.

Liverpool forwards Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane provide updates on their future amid contract talks

Mohamed Salah has confirmed that he will be at Liverpool next season irrespective of his contract situation, while Sadio Mane has cast doubt on his future in comments made by the pair before the Champions League final.
The pair are currently part of a Liverpool squad looking to bounce back from Premier League heartbreak before their trip to Paris as they look to crown their cup treble this season with a Champions League win against Real Madrid.
Beyond that, however, the club have less clarity. All of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are out of contract in 2023 and have shown no signs of extending their current deals at Anfield this season.
Salah, however, who finished top goalscorer and creator in the Premier League, has confirmed that he will not be leaving this summer, though he did nothing to dampen the suggestion that he may leave the club on a free in 2023.
‘I am staying at Liverpool next season for sure, that’s clear. In my mind, I don’t focus on contract right now’, he revealed.
‘I don’t want to be selfish, it’s not the right moment to speak about the contract’,

Mane’s mind on Madrid
And, forward partner Sadio Mane, who has hit a rich vein of form as a no.9 for Liverpool in the latter stages of this season, was even more non-commital, simply telling reporters that he will discuss the situation with the club following Saturday’s final.
‘There will be new discussions at the end of the season. I’ll answer after Champions League final’, he claimed.
🗣 “I’m going to answer after the Champions League.”

Mane has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich this summer in recent weeks, though whether such a move will materialise is another matter entirely.

Who should they keep, who should they sell?

2021/22 was an impressive season for Manchester City who claimed their 6th Premier League title.
The Sky Blues did not perform as well in the cup competitions and the Champions League continues to elude them, but Pep Guardiola and co. are no doubt confident of finally winning the competition next season.
Between then, though, is a summer transfer window which will see City given a chance to fine-tune their squad. But who should Pep keep and who should be shipped out the door? 101 have taken a look at every senior Manchester City player and decided if they should be kept or sold.

Goalkeepers
Ederson
Had an excellent 2021/22 that saw him clinch the Golden Boot. He is the perfect goalkeeper for Pep Guardiola’s style of play.
Verdict: Keep
Zack Steffen
Has some work to do with the ball at his feet but he is a useful back-up option to Ederson.
Verdict: Keep
Scott Carson
Only made one appearance last season but is a useful character to have around the squad and Pep seems to be a fan. His wage is also unlikely to be burning a whole in City’s budget.
Verdict: Keep
Defenders
Kyle Walker
Remains a crucial part of Manchester City’s defence with his blistering pace often a key reason why Man City do not get hit on the counter that often despite playing such a high line.
Verdict: Keep
Joao Cancelo
A sensational full-back whose runs into midfield are key to City’s ability to break a side down.
Verdict: Keep
Ruben Dias
Obviously a brilliant central defender still, in theory, yet to enter the prime of his career.
Verdict: Keep
Aymeric Laporte
An excellent left-footed option to have at centre-back. Can also do a job at left-back if needed. Has plenty of experience and can cover for Dias if he is out.
Verdict: Keep
John Stones
Has had some sketchy moments during his time in a Man City shirt but has really come into his own over the last year or so. Was keeping Laporte, previously City’s best centre-back, out of the side before his injury.
Verdict: Keep
Nathan Ake
Costing over £40m he is one of the most expensive squad players out there, but he does his job well. Ake is a useful option to have when Pep wants to rest the above trio in cup ties against weaker sides or in the Premier League vs teams like Norwich, Watford etc.
Verdict: Keep
Oleksandr Zinchenko
Not the fastest option out there and can sometimes be lacking defensively. Like all Manchester City full-backs though, his ability to step into midfield to help overload the opponent is impressive and as City are short-staffed at full-back, he should be kept for now.
Verdict: Keep
Midfielders
Rodri
Rodri had a slow start to life in England but he has grown into the Fernandinho role very well, tactical fouling and all.
The Spaniard is firmly cemented as one of the Premier League’s best no.6s, combining an aggressive tackle with pin-point passing.
Verdict: Keep
Ilkay Gundogan
There is talk that Gundogan could be set to leave Manchester City this summer. However, if they can, the Sky Blues should retain the German’s services for 2022/23.
Gundogan’s runs for deep, as shown vs Aston Villa on the final day, lead to plenty of chances and goals and could be even more crucial next term when most of the opposing defences are expected to be focused on Erling Haaland.
Verdict: Keep
Phil Foden
Foden should obviously be kept. The 21-year-old was named the Premier League’s Young Player of the Season and he is expected to be challenging for the main award in the next few years. He is a sensational talent who can pretty much do it all.
Verdict: Keep
Kevin De Bruyne
Kevin De Bruyne is arguably the best passer of the ball in Europe. Some of the balls he is able to pull off simply boggle the mind. He has also started to add more goals to his game, finishing this past campaign as Manchester City’s top scorer in the Premier League.
Verdict: Keep
Bernardo Silva
Like Gundogan, question marks surround Bernardo Silva heading into the summer window. However, he too should be kept on. When KDB is injured or rested the Portuguese fills his role perfectly.
And even when De Bruyne and Silva start together, Silva’s job remains a crucial one, dropping deeper to form a double pivot with Rodri when City do not have the ball then using his dribbling ability to bring the ball out from deep to start attacks.
Verdict: Keep
Cole Palmer
Was not afforded too many chances in 2021/22 but is clearly a bright talent and may benefit from a loan move.
Verdict: Keep
Forwards
Raheem Sterling
Sterling has been a great servant for Manchester City and is only the second player – after Sergio Aguero – to score 50 or more Premier League goals at the Etihad.
However, Sterling’s future has been up in the air for a while, and now Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez are set to link up with City, it may be time for Sterling to move on as Foden and Grealish can cover the left-wing whilst the aforementioned new signings will be City’s strikers, rather than using someone like Sterling in a false-nine.
Verdict: Sell
Jack Grealish
2021/22 was by no means a great season for Jack Grealish, but selling him off so quickly would be foolish.
The likes of Rodri, Riyad Mahrez, Joao Cancelo and Bernardo Silva all took a season to show their best form in Pep’s system and the same is expected of Grealish.
Verdict: Keep
Riyad Mahrez
Despite being 31, Mahrez remains a key part of City’s success, especially in the Champions League. The Algerian scored seven and assisted two in 12 European outings this campaign and finished 2021/22 as City’s top scorer overall.
Verdict: Keep
Gabriel Jesus
Like Sterling, the arrival of Haaland and Alvarez means there is much less of a need for Jesus going forward.
Yes, he could get some minutes from the right, but Man City would probably just be better served cashing in on the Brazilian and then bringing in a natural right-winger.
Verdict: Sell
