West Ham midfielder Pablo Fornals insists they won't dwell on defeat to Arsenal.

Despite the 2-1 defeat, therefore, Fornals believes there are aspects of their all-round game the Hammers should look to carry forwards – and aspects to work on.

Fornals told whufc.com: "I think we played quite well against Arsenal.

"We kept the ball very well and we had a lot of good possession, but in the end they scored from set-pieces, where normally we're used to being better than the other team.

"We're gutted about that, but I think we put Arsenal under pressure for the whole game, knowing that everyone is a little bit thinking of our massive game on Thursday, but apart from that I thought we had a decent game.

"I think that everyone is thinking and saying Arsenal like to keep possession and they control games – but I think we controlled the game for the whole 90 minutes.

"We were just a bit unlucky to concede from two set-pieces, but I think fortunately, it's a thing where we can improve a lot.

"I think now we're starting to create a few chances. There weren't really any big clear ones, but the sense of danger in their box was there, and I think it's what we need to have to play against other teams and to fight and to keep points, because it's the way to score goals."
