da bet7k: The Gunners were unstoppable at the London Stadium to keep up with Liverpool and Manchester City in the Premier League title race
da prosport bet: Declan Rice came back to haunt former club West Ham as he scored one and set up two more in a stunning 6-0 success for Arsenal at the London Stadium. Arsenal's £105-million summer signing set up goals for William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes as Arsenal raced into a 4-0 lead by half-time, with thousands of furious West Ham streaming out of the stadium during the interval.
Rice then put the gloss on an exceptional performance from Mikel Arteta's side, thumping in a wonderful goal from 25 yards to make it 6-0 after the break.
Bukayo Saka was also in imperious form, scoring twice, while Leandro Trossard bagged the other for the dominant Gunners who moved back to within two points of Premier League leaders Liverpool.
GOAL rates Arsenal's players from the London Stadium…
Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence
David Raya (7/10):
Was always decisive when he got the ball, looking to start attacks off quickly. Made a save late on and celebrated like he'd scored.
Ben White (8/10):
Back to his best in the last few games. Linked up well with Saka down the right all afternoon.
William Saliba (8/10):
Got the ball rolling with his header to make it 1-0. Dominant.
Gabriel Magalhaes (8/10):
Another set-piece goal from the big Brazilian. Excellent once again.
Jakub Kiwior (7/10):
Looked a bit suspect in the early stages but grew into the game. Sent in one excellent cross which Saka headed wide.

Declan Rice (9/10):
Marked his first league game back at West Ham with two assists and a quite outstanding goal from distance. Exceptional from a player who has proven to be a £105m bargain for Arsenal.
Kai Havertz (7/10):
Linked up well all afternoon. His movement was excellent and West Ham couldn't pick him up.
Martin Odegaard (9/10):
Was a constant menace. Got the assist for Trossard's goal and added another when he set up Saka in the second half. Pulled West Ham apart throughout.

Bukayo Saka (9/10):
Brilliant performance. Scored twice and should have had more. West Ham just couldn't cope with him. Showed real guts to take and score the penalty in the first half after what happened at this stadium last season.
Leandro Trossard (8/10):
His clever movement and his ability on the ball lit up the first half. Fabulous finish to make it 4-0. Excellent display.
Gabriel Martinelli (8/10):
He will feel a bit disappointed not to get in on the act, but never stopped working down the left and was always involved.
Getty ImagesSubs & Manager
Mohamed Elneny (6/10):
On for Rice in the second half and kept things ticking over. Sent a couple of shots over.
Eddie Nketiah (6/10):
Saw one effort saved.
Reiss Nelson (5/10):
Didn't make much of an impact.
Ethan Nwaneri (N/A):
Second Premier League appearance for the talented teenager. Had a few nice touches.
Cedric Soares (N/A):
Gave White a breather late on.
Mikel Arteta (9/10):
A perfect day for the Arsenal boss. Six goals, a clean sheet and was even able to give Nwaneri a run-out.
