Change in the leadership of the Premier League: Arsenal were surprised in their stadium by falling 2-0 against their neighbor West Ham, in the match that closed the 19th matchday, where they could not retain the leadership. The Czech Tomas Soucek at 13′ and the Greek Konstantinos Mavropanos at 55′ sealed this victory for West Ham in the rain at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners are left with 40 points, two behind Liverpool (42), who on Tuesday’s Boxing Day had won 2-0 at the modest Burnley ground (19th) and had provisionally taken the lead. Arsenal’s defeat against the ‘Hammers’ means that the leadership of Jürgen Klopp’s pupils is now firm, at least until the next matchday, which starts on Saturday. Precisely, Arsenal had maintained the lead last Sunday with a 1-1 draw at Liverpool’s field. This time he had to give up his goal against West Ham (6th) in European positions. Regarding other pursuers, Arsenal are still one point ahead of Aston Villa (3rd), who lost 3-2 on Tuesday at Manchester United, but see Manchester City (4th), who won on Wednesday, get closer to three points. 3-1 in the field of Everton (17th) and that also has one less game played than the rest of the teams at the top of the classification.
