The game was contested with much spirit, and in the end West Ham won on their merits by one goal to love. The point was obtained by Wallace early in the second half, when Ashcroft was at fault in leaving his goal and failing to get back in time. Throughout, West Ham proved themselves to be the better-balanced team, their forwards line being immeasurably superior to that of Arsenal.

Hammers good form was maintained with a visit to Millwall. In the opening minute Millwall were one-up through Watkins. Joyce saved a West Ham shot on the line and from the ensuing scrimmage a penalty was awarded to West Ham. Grassam scored. Linward put the visitors in front before half-time. In the second period Millwall surprisingly went to pieces Jenkinson from a corner made it 3-1. Jenkinson netted again from a corner but referee disallowed it. The hammers were all over Millwall at this stage. Grassam 4-1 and Dunn 'put thru' completed the West Ham scoring.
