BUKAYO SAKA concluded a commanding performance at the Emirates, leading Arsenal to a 2-0 victory over West Ham.
A volley from former Hammer Declan Rice and a composed penalty from Saka—marking his 200th Premier League appearance—were sufficient to secure all three points for the home team.
Bukayo Saka confidently converted the penalty.
Declan Rice celebrated scoring against his former team but chose not to celebrate the goal.
This goal was exactly what the winger needed as he seeks to revitalize his season after a hamstring injury hindered his start to the campaign.
Similar injury concerns are affecting other players in the Gunners squad, with Martin Odegaard leaving the match injured in the first half, which poses a worrying challenge for Mikel Arteta.
However, the significance of this win extends beyond the match itself for Arsenal in the short term.
They momentarily rise to the top of the Premier League table, increasing the pressure on rivals Liverpool ahead of their upcoming match at Stamford Bridge.
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
