West Ham United vs Arsenal History

The first-ever meeting between West Ham United and Arsenal came back in January 1906. Their FA Cup First Round tie ended level, forcing a replay at Upton Park where Arsenal ran out 3-1 winners on their way to reaching the semi-finals that year.

The first league fixture between the two sides would only be contested in the 1923/24 season, as both West Ham and Arsenal triumphed in their respective home games against one another.

One of the most famous clashes between these teams was the 1980 FA Cup final. Trevor Brooking scored the only goal of the game as the Hammers lifted this trophy for the second time in front of 100,000 at Wembley Stadium. This came five years after West Ham had also beaten Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter-finals on their way to claiming a maiden crown by defeating city rivals Fulham.

Unfortunately for West Ham, there hasn't been all too much silverware since then. In 2023, David Moyes guided the team to UEFA Conference League glory, for the club's first major honour for more than 40 years.

Arsenal meanwhile were a dominant force in the late 1990s and early 2000s under Arsène Wenger. The Frenchman oversaw the Gunners win no fewer than three Premier League titles in addition to seven FA Cups.

Arsenal had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate in this fixture towards the end of the 2023/24 Premier League campaign.
