Arsenal Moves Top Premier League After Win Over West Ham

Arsenal moved top of the Premier League after a 2-0 win over West Ham in Mikel Arteta’s 300th match in charge, with Declan Rice opening the scoring and Bukayo Saka converting a penalty, although captain Martin Odegaard was forced off injured before half-time. The victory leaves Arsenal one point clear of Liverpool. Chelsea drew 1-1 with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge — Moises Caicedo’s first-half screamer was cancelled out by Cody Gakpo — a result that underlined Liverpool’s vulnerability and left them behind Arsenal in the table. Manchester United beat Sunderland 2-0, with Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko scoring and new goalkeeper Senne Lammens keeping a clean sheet on his debut, easing pressure on manager Ruben Amorim. Tottenham continued their good run with a 2-1 win at Leeds, while West Ham remain in the relegation zone.
