West Ham Vs Arsenal: Gunners Clinch 5-2 Premier League Win After Thrilling First-Half Goal Fest
Arsenal snatched a crazy 5-2 win over West Ham in the Premier League after an action-packed first half that featured seven goals, seven scorers, and two penalties. A clever corner routine by Gabriel opened the scoring early for the Gunners, with Leandro Trossard converting Bukayo Saka's cross after sublime Martin Odegaard passing. Odegaard added a penalty after Saka was fouled by Lucas Paqueta, while Kai Havertz capitalized on a Trossard lofted pass to extend Arsenal's lead. West Ham responded through Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who finished a Carlos Soler assist, and Emerson's stunning free-kick via the crossbar. However, Arsenal regained control as Saka converted a penalty after Lukasz Fabianski fouled Gabriel. Arsenal held firm despite West Ham's efforts in the second half and moved within six points of leaders Liverpool ahead of their clash with Manchester City.
