Arsenal avenged themselves against "West Ham United" with a commanding 6-0 away victory, remaining in the midst of the race for the English Premier League title this Sunday, as they overwhelmed their hosts before halftime. Coach Mikel Arteta's team had lost to their London rival twice this season but took a 4-0 lead at halftime with goals from William Saliba, Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, and Gabriel.
Arsenal's punishment continued in the second half when Saka made it 5-0 before Declan Rice, the former West Ham midfielder who assisted two goals in the first half, scored the sixth goal for his team on a day the hosts suffered a humiliating defeat. Arsenal delivered a fantastic performance and closed the goal difference gap with Manchester City, the reigning champions, as both teams now have 52 points, although Arsenal remains in third place due to scoring fewer goals than City. Liverpool, the leader, has 54 points.
