Arsenal defeated West Bromwich Albion 1-0 at The Hawthorns on Saturday afternoon.
Arsenal ended their poor recent run by defeating West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns on Saturday.
Danny Welbeck scored the only goal of the game to ensure the Gunners headed back to London with all three points while the return of Laurent Koscielny meant Arsenal’s back-line looked considerably sturdier and earned a clean-sheet as a result.
Arsene Wenger’s defence has come in for criticism in recent weeks but the French international returned to add a touch of class to the back-four, keeping man-of-the-moment Saido Berahino at bay.
The young forward almost snatched a late equaliser only to see his effort rebound off the bar, meaning the Baggies slipped to 14th in the table while Arsenal climbed back into the top four ahead of the 3:00pm fixtures.
