Arsenal fans were left disappointed on their travels yet again as the Gunners failed to overcome David Moyes' West Ham United, who are currently enjoying a rich vein of form after beating Chelsea last weekend.

In a bid to test and try out new things while rotating his first team players throughout the busy festive period schedule, Arsene Wenger named Jack Wilshere in the starting eleven for the first time in since May 15th, 2016 (vs Aston Villa); 577 days ago to be exact.

The Englishman justified the faith shown by the manager by completing the full 90 minutes of the game, for the first time since scoring in their 2-2 draw against Manchester City back in September 2014 and boasted of the highest successful pass completion rate among the 22 players who started the game.
