Arsenal inflicted a crushing 6-0 defeat on West Ham, marking their worst loss in 60 years, with Declan Rice scoring against his former team.
Mikel Arteta’s squad showcased a ruthless performance, featuring two goals from Bukayo Saka and additional contributions from defensive duo William Saliba and Gabriel, both scoring from set pieces. Leandro Trossard also added to West Ham’s woes with a goal.

The defeat stands in stark contrast to West Ham’s recent form, as they had secured back-to-back wins against Manchester United and Arsenal just two months ago. However, in their last two matches, they have suffered heavy defeats, conceding nine goals without scoring.
Despite Arsenal's brilliant football, West Ham appeared passive and lacked defensive strength, allowing their opponents to dominate. Home fans expressed their frustration by leaving the stadium early, with thousands departing before halftime.
While Arsenal displayed clinical finishing, West Ham struggled to mount any significant attacking threat, often losing possession easily and failing to pressure the visitors.
