Eduardo caps Arsenal's late fightback to sink Hammers

Arsenal staged a dramatic late fightback to reach the FA Cup fourth round with a 2-1 win at London rivals West Ham yesterday.

Arsene Wenger's side were heading out at the first hurdle with 12 minutes to play at Upton Park as they laboured to recover from Alessandro Diamanti's first half strike.

But the Gunners finally found enough rhythm in the closing moments to equalise through Aaron Ramsey before Eduardo capped their fightback by heading in the winner that justified Wenger's decision to make five changes ahead of Wednesday's crucial league game against Bolton.

Wenger said: "We had a very difficult first half against a committed West Ham. They were well organised, then we got caught on the break just before half-time. In the second half we played at a higher tempo, West Ham dropped a bit physically and we could make it count in the final 20 minutes."
