Arsenal players respond to Mikel Arteta’s request as Declan Rice adds to West Ham’s embarrassment.
Arsenal secured a resounding 6-0 victory over West Ham, with Declan Rice making a notable impact against his former team. Following their impressive win against Liverpool, Arsenal continued to assert their dominance in the title race.
Goals from William Saliba, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel, Leandro Trossard, and Declan Rice solidified their triumphant performance. Arsenal’s proficiency in set pieces was once again highlighted, with 16 goals scored from set pieces, excluding penalties, in the Premier League this season.
Leandro Trossard’s goal further contributed to Arsenal’s commanding first-half lead. Rice’s proficiency in set-piece deliveries has been instrumental in Arsenal’s success, as he notched two assists from set-pieces during the match.
His consistent quality in these situations has proven to be a valuable asset for Arsenal. As Rice haunted West Ham upon his return to the London Stadium, Arsenal fans hailed him with chants of ’10 more years, 10 more years Declan Rice,’ further intensifying the agony for the home supporters.
The match saw Rice curl home a delightful sixth goal for Arsenal, showcasing their attacking prowess and the strength of their offensive lineup. Despite discussions around the need for a clinical striker, Arsenal’s attacking force remains formidable.
With Gabriel Jesus set to return to the side, Arsenal’s depth in goal-scoring options reflects their ability to continue challenging at the top of the table. Manager Mikel Arteta is likely unconcerned about their attacking capabilities following their dominant display.
