Arsenal continued their winning start to the 2020/21 Premier League season with three more points against West Ham United on Saturday night.
The Gunners posted a 2-1 win against David Moyes’ team, with goals courtesy of Alexandre Lacazette and second-half substitute Eddie Nketiah.
Arsenal were quite comfortable at 1-0, but conceded to Michail Antonio just seconds before the half-time whistle, leading to a huge improvement in the visitors for the second half.

West Ham had its chances but couldn’t make any of them count.
Despite the positive result, Arsenal will undoubtedly need to improve against Liverpool, with the Reds lurking alongside Mikel Arteta.
At the Emirates, the new signing Gabriel once again attracted attention in the rear of Arsenal.
But there was another man who received huge applause on social media after the game.
Bukayo Saka was hired for his first start before the game by Arteta, and the teenager certainly restored his coach’s faith.

The youngster was involved in both Arsenal goals, breaking the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Dani Ceballos to provide assists on goals.
It was a definite reminder of the bright young talent that he is, and Arteta may find it difficult to shut him out in the future:
Saka is just fantastic, he won’t get the assists, but he did score both goals. Everything I say about Aouar / Willian in terms of receiving the ball between the lines, the ability to advance the ball in tight spaces and close control. He has it all, the best interpretation of that role with Arteta. pic.twitter.com/smHBwCevG9

Bukayo Saka is frighteningly good for a teenager. His intelligence both on and off the ball is incredible.

Bukayo Saka is up there as the best youngster in the league. So complete, so good.
