Gunners poor run of form continued with a home defeat to West End.
Gunners made the best possible start with a goal within thirty seconds of kick off from Dave Owen who nutmegged two opponents and rifled in a shot from 25 yards.
However, West End soon got into the game and started to control possession. They equalised from a free header from a corner and then added another when the Gunners team stood watching to give them a 2-1 lead.
Shortly before half time they made it three, when Peter Ali was adjudged to have fouled an opponent and they subsequently converted the penalty.
Gunners managed one or two breaks but failed to put the West End keeper under any serious pressure.
In the second half, the game continued as it had in the first with West End having more of the play. They added a fourth goal midway through the second half to make it 4-1 and effectively killed off the game.
Gunners did create more chances in the second half. Bill Maslin broke through twice and had chances to score and Paul Stout also hit the post with an effort.
At the other end of the field, West End came close with a few mid range efforts.
The final result was a 4-1 defeat.
