West Ham vs Arsenal LIVE: Result and reaction as Gunners record biggest-ever Premier League away win

West Ham 0-6 Arsenal: The Gunners run rampant at the London Stadium with superb win

Arteta responds to "celebration police" comments from pundits

Arsenal demolished West Ham at the London Stadium to keep up the pace with Manchester City and Liverpool in the title race. In a totally one-sided affair, the Gunners started strongly forcing saves out of Alphonse Areola before a set piece helped them into the lead. William Saliba leapt highest from a corner to nod home the opener.

David Moyes’ side then fell apart and Arsenal took complete control with slick passing, fine runs and a clinical eye for goal. Bukayo Saka won and converted a penalty to score the second before Gabriel headed home a third. Leandro Trossard curled in a fine finish from just inside the box to make it four goals before half-time.

After the break, Saka added a fifth with his second of the afternoon and the icing on the cake came from Declan Rice who slotted home a long range effort against his former club to secure all three points.

West Ham 0-4 Arsenal

56 mins: Phillips has had a tough start to life at West Ham but perhaps this second half, with basically nothing to play for, could allow him the opportunity to find his feet.

The Englishman has been getting on the ball plenty at the base of midfield since coming on.

West Ham 0-4 Arsenal

50 mins: Havertz lines up a shot from range but dags it just wide of the left post. West Ham have begun the second half in much the same fashion that they ended the first - they look lost at sea.

HALF-TIME: West Ham 0-4 Arsenal

And, breathe...

A simply breathtaking first-half from Arsenal who have raced into a four-goal lead at the break. Saliba nodded the visitors in front but Arteta’s side then found three further goals in seven minutes to surely put the game beyond doubt.

Saka converted from the spot before Gabriel’s header and Trossard’s curling finish have Arsenal totally in control at the break.

The boos rng around the London Stadium from those West Ham fans still in the ground - what on earth does David Moyes say to his team at the break?
