Arsenal showed the resilience which will help them in their title chase as they recovered from a half-time deficit to beat West Ham 3-1 in their Premier League clash.
The Gunners dominated the early stages but went behind when William Saliba brought down Jarrod Bowen and Said Benrahma converted the spot kick.
West Ham were resilient in defence and it took a stroke of luck to get back on level terms as Martin Odegaard’s poor attempted shot fell into the path of Bakary Saka, who controlled perfectly before slotting coolly past Lukas Fabianski.
The West Ham goalkeeper will then have been disappointed to get beaten at his near post by a low shot from Gabriel Martinelli, which put the Gunners in front, before Eddie Nketiah brilliantly spun Timo Kehrer in the area and slotted inside the far post.
The win puts the Gunners seven points clear at the top of the table, while the Hammers remain fifth bottom.
