🗒️ Match Events
The players are out on the pitch, and kick-off in this capital city contest is now just moments away!
1st Half Begins!
1'| The host kick off, and we are under way at the London Stadium!
7'| Arsenal earn the first corner, which is taken by ex-West Ham man Rice. He aims for the near post, but the home side clear their lines. As expected, the Gunners are having much more of the ball so far.
9'| In fact, the visitors have had an 85% share of the ball to this point, and they use it to force another corner. Saka will swing it in from the right.
10'| ⚽ Goal! West Ham United 0, Arsenal [1]. Gabriel Magalhães (Arsenal).
GOAL!!! ARSENAL LEAD 1-0! Once again, Gabriel heads home from a corner! The big Brazilian loses his marker and glances the Gunners ahead from Saka's inswinging corner-kick! West Ham are punished for their failure to get a grip on their visitors, who are rewarded for their dominance!
12'| Today's strike continues a brilliant record for Gabriel: the Arsenal centre-back has now scored 17 Premier League goals, netting at least three times in each of his last four seasons - that's also six more than any other defender.
27'| ⚽ Goal! West Ham United 0, Arsenal [2]. Leandro Trossard (Arsenal)
GOAL!!! The Gunners go 2-0 up! It's a lovely team move, as Saka smoothly exchanges passes with Odegaard on the edge of the box before picking out the run of Trossard. The latter arrives in the six-yard box to tap home Arsenal's second! West Ham are in disarray!
33'| PENALTY FOR ARSENAL! A clear trip by Paqueta, who dangles his leg out to bring down the brilliant Saka, results in a penalty for Arsenal! It's their first Premier League spot-kick of the season!
34'| ⚽ Goal! West Ham United 0, Arsenal [3]. Martin Ødegaard (Arsenal)
ARSENAL LEAD 3-0! Having been handed the ball by Saka, Arsenal captain Odegaard keeps his cool and picks out the bottom-right corner with his penalty! Fabianski went the right way but still had no chance! Surely that's game over?
36'| ⚽ Goal! West Ham United 0, Arsenal [4]. Kai Havertz (Arsenal)
GOAL!!! HAVERTZ HITS THE FOURTH! Running on to a superb throughball by Trossard, which drops just over the top of Kilman outside the box, Havertz surges into the area and slams the ball past a helpless Fabianski! It's already 4-0 to Arsenal in this London derby!
38'| ⚽ Goal! West Ham United [1], Arsenal 4. Aaron Wan-Bissaka (West Ham United)
GOAL!!! The Hammers hit back! Out of nowhere, Soler slides through a precise low pass for Wan-Bissaka - who perfectly times his run inside from the right - to score his second goal in less than a week! West Ham get one back, making it 4-1 to Arsenal in this frantic first half!
40'| ⚽ Goal! West Ham United [2], Arsenal 4. Emerson (West Ham United)
GOAL!!! WEST HAM ARE BACK IN IT! What a way to reduce the hosts' deficit! Emerson curls a delicious 20-yard free-kick over Arsenal's defensive wall and into the back of the net via a nick off the underside of the crossbar! It's an incredible strike, befitting a remarkable first half: 4-2 to Arsenal!
42'| 🟨 Emerson (West Ham United) is shown the yellow card.
42'| 🟨 Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) is shown the yellow card.
44'| Finally, the tempo drops as a stunned London Stadium tries to take in what's just unfolded. Arteta even looks a little perplexed on the sideline, while Lopetegui is serving a suspension so must watch on from afar.
45'+1'| Fourth official has announced 5 minutes of added time.
45'+1'| 🟨 Crysencio Summerville (West Ham United) is shown the yellow card
45'+3'| 🟨 Lukasz Fabianski (West Ham United) is shown the yellow card.
45+3'| ANOTHER PENALTY FOR ARSENAL! In the third minute of at least five added for stoppages, there's yet another twist in this game! The referee points to the spot after Fabianski misses an attempted punch and strikes Gabriel in the face. Can the Gunners grab a fifth goal before half-time?
45+5'| ⚽Goal! West Ham United 2, Arsenal [5]. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
GOAL!!! Saka strikes from the spot! Fabianski almost keeps the ball out, as the Arsenal winger fails to find the bottom corner with his penalty - but it still squirms in! Incredibly, it's now 5-2 to the visitors before half-time!
