Arsenal failed to achieve the point after defeated by West Ham United 1-0 on the 22nd-week of Premier League at London Stadium, Saturday (12/1). The Hammers won by the only goal from Declan Rice at 48′.

“Now it isn’t enough at the moment. It’s a bad result. If we can win we are playing against Chelsea (on Saturday) with a three-point maximum distance,” Emery explained.

Arsenal often face the difficulty when playing in the away match of Premier League. From five recent away matches, The Gunners only gained one victory.

“It’s our challenge. Each match is our challenge away. We are working on that,” Emery explained.

“Like here (at West Ham), for example, they are with their supporters they feel good and strong and can push. We need to take more confidence, more performance collectively, being competitive away to change this moment.”
