In the 32nd minute of the first half, William Saliba had already netted one goal in favour of the Gunners who were being hosted at the London Stadium. William Saliba’s goal came from a conner that Arsenal’s most expensive signing Declan Rice artistically kicked into the box of West Ham. Those who might not be aware, Rice is West Ham’s former midfielder, who joined Arsenal at a £100 million deal on 15th – July – 2023.
The second goal came in from Bukayo Saka in the 41 minute , which was followed by Gabriel Magalhães just after two (2) minutes from Bukayo’s goal. The first half was sealed off by Leandro Trossard’s goal that he scored in the first one extra time minute of the first half.
Arsenal’s 4 :0 lead of the first half didn’t deter them from continuing with the pressure they had amounted onto West Ham United hence Saka’s goal in the sixty two (62) minute of the second half. This was Saka’s second goal in the match and it left Arsenal’s fans in a very joy-full mood up-to the last whistle of the game.
Declan Rice gave Arsenal their 6th and last goal of the match in the sixty fourth minute of the game and it was very clear that Arsenal had done what West Ham did in 1960, when they walloped Arsenal 6 goals to nil.
