Arsenal defeated West Ham at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening in an entertaining all-London Premier League clash.

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:

32 mins: David Moyes has never defeated Arsenal at their home as a manager in the Premier League. A stat that looks unlikely to change tonight. 

West Ham have a throw in and Masuaku launches it into the box but Ceballos puts it out for a corner. 

The corner comes in a Lacazette heads it away from the near post.

28 mins: Arsenal in full control now. They’re causing real problems with little chipped passes over the top of the defence and runs in behind.

Arsenal 1 - 0 West Ham - Lacazette

25 mins: GOAL! Saka slots the ball through the defensive line for Aubameyang. He picks up the ball, takes it to the byline and chips it into the box for Lacazette who heads it home powerfully.

16 mins: Antonio tries to make something happen for West Ham. He takes a shot from the right side of the box but Leno goes low to stop then collect the ball. 

Bowen goes down in the box after sprinting up on the counter. Gabriel runs into his back and Bowen hits the deck. He wants a penalty but he’s not getting one for that.

12 mins: Arsenal haven’t found their flow yet, but they’re holding onto the ball. Keeping possession and probing for weaknesses in West Ham’d defence. Nothing substantial so far though.

6 mins: West Ham win a free kick after Ceballos gives away a foul. It’ss about 25 yards out, slightly to the left of goal. Cresswell rolls it to Rice who shoots and wins a corner when the ball goes out off the wall.

3 mins: Masuaku wins a corner for West Ham after Bellerin blocks his cross. Its sent high into the box. Rice wins the initial header and knocks it across goal, Ogbonna follows it up with a header of his own but Fabianski clings on to the ball.

Kick off: West Ham get the match started but Arsenal win the ball in midfield, it’s played to the defence and booted long for Aubameyang to chase. He does but the ball skips through to Fabianski.
