West Ham United endured a painful night in east London as a first-half onslaught saw Arsenal race away into an unassailable lead and ultimately inflict a heavy Premier League defeat upon Julen Lopetegui's men.
In a breathless, end-to-end game, we fell behind early on when Gabriel opened the scoring from a corner in the tenth minute, and Arsenal kept their foot on the gas and roared to a four-goal advantage by the 36th minute.
Two quick-fire goals from Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Emerson gave the hosts brief hope, but Bukayo Saka’s penalty in first-half stoppage time made it 5-2 at the break. It was only the fourth time ever that the first half of a Premier League match had contained seven goals, and there was no longer any way back for the Hammers.
