Oh, what a missed opportunity for West Ham inside London Stadium on Sunday. 

With only 15 minutes to go, the Hammers found themselves on the breakaway and Mateus Fernandes was 1-on-1 with Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya.

Unfortunately, the moment proved too much, and the 21-year-old hesitated ever so slightly before running out of space, allowing Raya's frame to be the difference.

Immediately after, the Gunners grabbed a 1-0 lead via Leandro Trossard.
