West Ham vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League score updates as Gunners score four goals before half-time | Top Vip News

A simply impressive first half from Arsenal, who had taken a four-goal lead at half-time. Saliba headed the visitors home, but Arteta’s side found three more goals in seven minutes to surely put the game beyond doubt.

Saka converted from the spot before Gabriel’s header and Trossard’s shot put Arsenal in complete control at the break.

The boos ringing out at the London Stadium from West Ham fans still on the ground: what the hell is David Moyes saying to his team at half-time?

45+5 minutes: The cameras have cut to the outside of the London stadium and, as predicted, hundreds of West Ham fans are making their way to the train station. They’ve seen enough.

Arsenal have the fourth before the break!

Well, you certainly don’t want to be in the West Ham dressing room as the home team concede their third goal in just seven minutes.

Odegaard slides through Trossard into the box and the Belgian moves him to his right before curling a wonderful finish past Areola and into the top corner.

A large number of West Ham fans are heading for an early half-time exit and it is suspected that many will not return after the break. A disastrous end to the half for the locals.

45+1 minutes: We reach the first of seven minutes of added time. David Moyes’s face on the sidelines says it all.

For my part, I wouldn’t like to be in the home locker room at half-time…

Arsenal attack again before the break!

Things go from bad to worse for West Ham as Gabriel easily gets on the wrong side of Alvarez with a free kick to head home Declan Rice’s free-kick.

Magnificent end to the first half for the visitors, who have surely already taken the three points.

Arsenal double their lead!

Saka missed a vital penalty at the London Stadium last season, but this time he makes no mistake, sending Areola the wrong way and firing into the bottom right corner.

A simply terrible ten minutes from West Ham – they now have a mountain to climb.

40 minutes: Saka was in play so the penalty stands. Saka seems like she will accept it…

38 minutes: PENALTY FEE! Perhaps the easiest decision Craig Pawson has made in his refereeing career.

Saka jumps behind the West Ham defense but is clumsily brought down by Areola as the Arsenal striker looks to round the Hammers goalkeeper.

Areola receives a yellow card, but now there is a VAR check to make sure Saka was in play initially…

37 minutes: Another great opportunity for Saka when Odegaard slips the ball to him inside the area. It’s a tight angle and Saka’s attempt narrowly misses the far post.

35 minutes: Arsenal should be two up! A Kiwior cross from the left finds Saka in all sorts of spaces in the penalty area, but the Englishman heads wide.

It’s understandable that you’re frustrated with yourself; That was a great opportunity to give his team a vital break.
