Saka claimed his second assist of the night as he set up Leandro Trossard with a selfless pass from in front of goal. Odegaard’s perfectly placed penalty gifted Arsenal the third while Kai Havertz’s clinical finish two minutes later put the game thoroughly out of reach for the hosts.

A brief spell for West Ham saw them make a valiant effort to get back into the game. A composed strike from Aaron Wan-Bissaka and a spectacular free-kick from Emerson Palmieri cut short the deficit.

However, Saka finally put the game to bed in the final minutes of the first half from the penalty spot. With the win, Arsenal now has 25 points from 13 games.
