Arsenal Fc began their league campaign on a poor note as they suffered a surprise 2-0 defeat to West Ham at the Emirates earlier today.

Errors from their biggest summer signing,  Petr Cech prevented the team from having a flying start anticipated by fans and several pundits.

Cech was caught out when West Ham midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate headed in a first-half free kick and then Mauro Zarate slotted home a second on the break after 57 minutes to leave Gunners boss Arsene Wenger facing more questions about the direction of his side.

West Ham started with 16-year-old Reece Oxford in midfield, and he put in a mature display at the back.

Wenger was forced to use Alexis Sanchez a surprise substitute but he could not inspire the Gunners back into the game.

The defeat leaves Arsenal in the last position on the log and some fans are already showing concerns regarding the intent of the club to charge for the league title.
