West Ham United fullback Aaron Cresswell was left frustrated by his team's second half display against Arsenal.

The Hammers saw a first half lead disappear in the second period, as they were resoundingly beaten 3-1.

Saïd Benrahma's penalty had given them a lead, but goals from Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Eddie Nketiah won the game for Arsenal.

“The first half was OK, but it was not good enough in the second half," Cresswell told the club website post-game.

“Once they got their first and second [goals] it was like we were pinned in.

“The third goal killed the game off. From the position we were in, it is disappointing."

“It's tough at the minute," added Cresswell.

“There are no hiding places now. We have to look at ourselves. It's the players as a collective – together; it is frustrating and we have to put that right.

“We will work again tomorrow. We have to look at Brentford. It's a massive game and we need to get back to the training ground and work on things we need to.

“All we can focus on is the next game. It is not where we want to be [in the table] and us as players have to take this responsibility because collectively, we have not been good enough. And we have to move into the next game and get the win."
