West Ham vs Arsenal Highlights


Arsenal vs Liverpool

GOAL: West Ham 0-6 Arsenal (Rice, 66')
Just when you thought things couldn't get much worse for West Ham, Declan Rice hit a screamer to make it six!
It's a beauty of a shot from approximately 25 yards out, bending away from Areola and into the upper corner. 
Rice chooses not to rejoice out of respect for his former team. But the damage is done. More fans are leaving.
This has been the worst day ever for West Ham United fans.

GOAL: West Ham 0-5 Arsenal (Saka, 63')
 
Saka scores his second goal of the day, making things too simple for Arsenal. West Ham continues to play awful defense. 
 
Saka slips past Aguerd as if he isn't there and blasts the ball into the near post. 
 
Arsenal needs one more goal to equalize City's goal difference. It might be crucial toward the end of the season.

GOAL! West Ham 0-4 Arsenal (Trossard, 45+2')
Odegaard feeds Trossard in the box, and he opens his body to reach the top corner.
 
West Ham will be lucky if their fans return for the second half. This has been a terrible way to close the first half.

GOAL! West Ham 0-3 Arsenal (Gabriel, 44')
ARSENAL ARE FLYING! They score from another set piece.
 
Rice delivers again, this time to the front post, where he finds Gabriel nodding home. The defender has had a successful season, and he will continue it here.
 
Within three minutes, Arsenal is out of sight. West Ham fans have a negative attitude. Those who remain seated.

GOAL! West Ham 0-2 Arsenal (Saka pen, 41)

Bukayo Saka doubles Arsenal's lead!

The Arsenal forward sends Areola the wrong way to put Arsenal in full control here. He's also sent half the stadium down to the concourse early for their half-time drinks.

Arsenal are cruising to three big points here.


GOAL! West Ham 0-1 Arsenal (Saliba, 32')

IT WAS COMING!

Arsenal weathered the early storm of West Ham pressure and have been on top for the last 15 minutes. 

This is a well deserved lead - and it is another goal from a set piece for the Gunners. 

Rice swings it into the back post - an area they have targetted a lot today - and finds Saliba, who towers over Alvarez to head home.
