Arsenal's development squad are without a win in three matches after they were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham United in a Premier League 2 encounter at Meadow Park on Friday night. 

The team coached by Mehmet Ali are fourth in the provisional standings with 27 points from sixteen matches. 

2023 Flying Eagles invitee Joel Ideho and central defender Zach Awe put in a full shift for the Gunners. 

After a goalless first half with very few clear-cut chances, Arsenal broke the deadlock through Ideho in the 63rd minute. 

The former Ajax Amsterdam wonderkid collected possession on the edge of the box and fired in via the post for his sixth goal of the season in all competitions. 

In the 70th minute, Ideho almost scored his second of the night with a curling effort but was denied by the Hammers goalkeeper. 

West Ham leveled in the 82nd minute as Divin Mubama converted a penalty after a foul in the box.
