West Ham and Arsenal could not be separated as the team's played out a 0-0 draw at the London Stadium on Wednesday night.
The celebrations came from David Moyes as he claimed another point in the fight against relegation.
However, Arsenal's poor away record continued and Arsene Wenger's team have now won only two of nine away from the Emirates Stadium and scored only nine goals.
Here, Sportsmail's Kieran Gill highlights five things we learned from the game.
Arsenal and West Ham played out a goalless draw in the Premier League on Wednesday night
Noble takes no prisoners as captain
Mark Noble is the epitome of a no-nonsense captain. The West Ham skipper stayed serious in the tunnel – no hugs or handshakes. He kept his eyes forward, and after a word in the ear from assistant Stuart Pearce, led the team out.
Noble then let Alexis Sanchez know that he would not be given an easy ride by welcoming him to the London Stadium with a crunching challenge.

West Ham fans get a glimpse at Wilshere
Jack Wilshere was handed the chance to impress West Ham in the flesh. This was his first Premier League start since May 2016 – 577 days ago. What the majority of Arsenal fans were thinking – and perhaps a few from West Ham with David Moyes having admitted he will look at the midfielder in January – was: 'Do not get injured.'
Wilshere finished the first half with a 100 per cent passing accuracy. In the second, he had his chance to score, but blazed his shot over the bar.

Moyes' staff are getting West Ham into shape
Why try to fix what's not broken? Moyes opted for the same side that saw off Chelsea at the London Stadium on Saturday. This would properly put their fitness levels to the test.
Fitness was a big criticism of West Ham under Slaven Bilic and a problem that Moyes wanted to solve. The new management is having an influence at their Rush Green training ground. The home side made Arsenal work hard around their box and got their point.

Arsenal's academy supplies four players in starting XI
Arsenal started with four academy products. Ainsley Maitland-Niles was among those making his full Premier League debut, while Wilshere, Alex Iwobi and Hector Bellerin were the three others.
Maitland-Niles was used at left-back in a very different Arsenal defence – the last time Arsene Wenger used a back four in the league was away to Crystal Palace last season – a 3-0 loss.

West Ham's fortunes at the London Stadium are changing
The London Stadium has been repeatedly hammered for its bad reputation but it is changing. Moyes himself has been surprised. This was the Scot's third home match since taking over. In his first, they drew 1-1 with Leicester. Then, they beat Chelsea 1-0. With Arsenal doing the majority of attacking, it was tense at times, but West Ham's supporters can get behind their team when they want to.
