An early goal from Denilson - after he hammered the ball into the bottom corner from outside the box - gave Arsenal the lead, but they were given a disadvantage when Thomas Vermaelen was sent off for bringing down Guillermo Franco in the box just before the break.
Manuel Almunia threw himself to his left to deny Alessandro Diamanti from the spot and West Ham were unable to take full advantage of the extra man in the second period. In fact, Arsenal sealed the points with a penalty of their own with ten minutes left as Matthew Upson handled and Cesc Fabregas sent the Gunners top.
