The Gunners opened the scoring through Alexandre Lacazette, who headed home after a chipped cross from fellow forward and captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, before Michail Antonio stabbed home an equaliser on the cusp of half-time.
Arsenal substitute Eddie Nketiah sealed the win for the hosts, however, striking with five minutes remaining to break West Ham hearts. Re-live all the updates here:
90 mins: Four added minutes to play. Aubameyang takes a shot from just outside the box and he sends it straight down the goalkeepers throat.
88 mins: Haller is on for West Ham replacing Fornals. Saka has been replaced with David Luiz as Arsenal look to hold on to their lead.
Arsenal 2 - 1 West Ham - Nketiah
85 mins: GOAL! Arsenal have struggled to create in this half but they’ve cut West Ham apart in this move. Saka dinks the ball into the box and Ceballos runs onto the end of the pass. Fabianski comes running at him but he passes the ball to Nketiah who taps it into the open net.
82 mins: Andriy Yarmolenko comes on for the final ten minutes or so replacing Jarrod Bowen for West Ham.
Masuaku flicks the ball into the box from the right, Soucek jumps over Holding and tries to win the header but the Arsenal centre-half stands his ground and Soucek goes tumbling to the floor. Arsenal clear the danger.
78 mins: Lacazette’s day is done. He got his 50th goal for Arsenal but Mikel Arteta is replacing him with Nketiah.
Saka wins a corner and Pepe swings it into the box. Arsenal win a second corner but Masuaku deals with that one as well.
74 mins: West Ham have battered Arsenal in this half, they’ve had eight shots compared to the Gunners one. All that’s lacking is a goal.
70 mins: Antonio meets a cross from West Ham and he sends a header towards the top corner. He connects well and rattles the crossbar! Leno comes to claim the rebound but he spills the ball and it’s worked to Bowen. He shoots from outside the box but only hits the wall of defenders in front of him.
66 mins: Antonio takes a shot from distance and Gabriel blocks it. The ball bounces away towards Xhaka and Soucek who clash heads as they both go for the same ball.
62 mins: Mikel Arteta makes a change. Willian comes off and Pepe replaces him. Willian has had a quietish night and Arteta is looking to liven things up.
