Sam Allardyce: 'West Ham United were wasteful'

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce rues his side's missed chances against Arsenal.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has bemoaned his side's finishing in the 3-1 home defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League on Boxing Day.

The Hammers took the lead against the Gunners, but ended with no points after three goals in 11 second-half minutes for Arsenal, with Allardyce saying that his side should have been further ahead by that point.

"We've let it slip through our fingers, haven't we?" he told Sky Sports News. "We had three golden chances after we scored - Matt Jarvis in the box, one-on-one, Joey O'Brien's free header in the six-yard box and Carlton Cole's side-foot tap.

"We paid the price because what Arsenal do then is take more and more chances when they are losing. It was either going to be us getting that second goal and then we would have made sure we tightened it up or they'd score."

West Ham dropped to 19th in the Premier League after the result.
