"We dominated and deserved to win", celebrated Arteta after the match. "Getting to the top of the table after some important games last week and some injuries... we managed to react".

Gunners control the game

The 'Gunners' didn't need to use their talent to overcome West Ham, which is in the relegation zone and showed itself harmless and cornered at Emirates Stadium.

The penultimate team in the English Championship table first suffered a goal from Declan Rice, their former captain, who took advantage of a strong shot from Eberechi Eze, rebounded by Alphonse Areola at 38 minutes.

Saka extends and Arsenal takes the top

The French goalkeeper, saved by the post shortly before the break, was again beaten in the second half, by a penalty taken by Bukayo Saka.

The bad news for Arsenal was the left knee injury of their captain, Martin Odegaard, after half an hour of play. The Norwegian midfielder got injured in all three home matches for the English Championship this season.
