Arsenal continued their fine form in the Premier League with a 3-1 win over West Ham United on Boxing Day. Mikel Arteta's side remain top of the table, seven points clear of second-placed Newcastle and eight points clear of Manchester City, who play Leeds United on Wednesday.
The Gunners started slowly at the Emirates Stadium, however, and trailed 1-0 at the break after a Said Benrahma penalty. Arsenal fought back and soon found their rhythm as Bukayo Saka latched onto a poor attempted shot from Martin Odegaard, with the England international burying the ball past Lukasz Fabianski to equalise.
Gabriel Martinelli quickly put the hosts ahead with a fierce shot at the near post just five minutes later before Eddie Nketiah sealed the win with a fine finish into the bottom corner just 20 minutes before the full-time whistle blew.
