    FT: Arsenal 3-1 West Ham. Arteta's side's delightful first-half play was halted by an incredible West Ham defence and the visitors managed to take the lead with a Benrahma goal from the penalty spot. However, Arsenal did not throw in the towel and completed a lovely second-half comeback. Saka scored the equaliser in the 53rd minute and just five minutes later Martinelli extended the lead. Nketiah, after a brilliant team play, secured the victory for the Londoners.
