Arsenal 3-1 West Ham
Alexandre Lacazette makes it three!
85: Arsenal smartly work the ball around the box and push West Ham deeper and deeper. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang eventually lays the ball to Alexandre Lacazette on the right of the box and the Frenchman blasts the ball into the near post, via Aaron Cresswell's slight deflection.
86: Andy Carroll is on for West Ham, Arthur Masuaku the player to come off. Arsenal bring on Callum Chambers for Danny Welbeck.
87: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang shows his speed and is taken out by Marco Arnautovic on the halfway line who picks up a card.
Arsenal 4-1 West Ham
Arsenal are really good when they want to be, aren't they.
90: Another flowing attack lead by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang drives Arsenal up the pitch and he finds Aaron Ramsey. Ramsey's quick feet take the ball past Pablo Zabaleta and he shifts it to Alexandre Lacazette who opens his body and fires the ball in.
90: 'One Arsene Wenger' sing the crowd who are watching a display which has been somewhat a metaphor to Wenger's last 10 years: very poor defensively but very, very good when going forward once they got going.
Arsenal 4-1 West Ham
For a long time West Ham showed great resilience who got themselves back into the game through Marco Arnautovic after Nacho Monreal opened the scoring.
As the game aged the Gunners got better and Aaron Ramsey's fortuitous goal along with Alexandre Lacazette's late brace sealed the three points from the Gunners.
