Now back to tonight, Arsenal’s match winner, Eddie Nketiah, has given his reaction to Sky Sports. He spoke about scoring just after coming on and burying the hatchet with teammate Dani Ceballos who set him up to score. This is what he said: 

"Almost [the first touch]. The second maybe. It's nice to get on and help the team win."

On his clash with Ceballos last week...

"We had a bit of a coming together. The reaction was there. We made up an got on with it. It was nice for him to make the assist. It's all love now.

"It was a great pass across, good vision. I tried to stay onside. It was an easy finish from there.

"I want to keep improving as a player. It's a great feeling to come on and score.

"West Ham made it very difficult. They came out very strongly in the second half."

The 3 o’clock kick off saw two newly promoted sides go head-to-head in a search for their first points of the season. The setting was Elland Road, where Premier League football returned after a 16 year absence. Mark Walker tells us what went down as Leeds took on Fulham:

90+4 mins: West Ham pile on the pressure for the final few minutes but they can’t find a way through the Arsenal defence. The Gunners have everyone back defending.

There goes the whistle and Arsenal have held on! They’ve got two wins from their opening two games, they haven’t been anywhere near their best tonight but they’ve done just enough to secure the points.
