West Ham vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League score and goal updates as William Saliba nets opener

37 mins: Another great chance for Saka as Odegaard slides the ball through to him inside the box. It’s a tight angle and Saka’s dinked effort goes just wide of the far post.

35 mins: Arsenal should be two up! Kiwior’s cross in from the left finds Saka in all kinds of space in the penalty area but the Englishman nods wide with his header.

He’s understandably frustrated with himself – that was a cracking chance to give his side some vital breathing space.

Arsenal have the opener and it’s another set-piece goal for the Gunners!

Rice swings the ball towards a crowded back post and it’s Saliba who rises highest to nod home past Areola.

That’s a soft one to concede for West Ham.

30 mins: Martinelli flashes a low cross into the box but Aguerd clears the danger just before the onrushing Odegaard can get on the end of it.

28 mins: Odegaard strikes from the edge of the box but Soucek gets a vital block on the effort to deflect it wide. Ward-Prowse rises well to clear away the resulting corner.

23 mins: SAVE! A second huge chance in the space of two minutes for Trossard but this time he gets it right, unleashing a fierce volley on target which Areola superbly manages to tip over the bar.

22 mins: OVER! An enticing ball in from the right by Saka finds Trossard superbly in the box but the Belgian nods over from a good position. He should really be doing better.

21 mins: A sustained period of good possession for the hosts as Johnson’s ball in from the left is cleared by Gabriel.

A mistake from Emerson, though, allows Arsenal to break but Aguerd is well-placed to make a vital interception and stop Trossard picking up the ball inside the area.

17 mins: The corner comes in from the left but Arsenal can clear. Soucek rather dramatically hits the deck after minimal contact with Odegaard and the referee, rightly, waves away his appeals.

16 mins: West Ham, though, are growing into the game now as their houndish press prevents Arsenal from playing out from the back.

Bowen releases Johnson down the left flank but Kiwior does superbly to clear the low cross out for a corner with Kudus looking to get a strike on goal.
