Alex Iwobi’s Arsenal fall to West Ham

Declan Rice’s first goal for West Ham United earned their first home victory in the Premier League over Arsenal since 2006.

Alexandre Lacazette tested West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski early on, but the Hammers soon took control with Samir Nasri pulling a shot wide.

Rice headed wide from a corner just before half-time, but the 19-year-old made no mistake three minutes after the break.
