Arsenal secured a convincing victory over West Ham United in Saturday afternoon's seventh round of the English Premier League. The Gunners kept all three points at home thanks to goals from Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka, yet the joy isn't entirely unblemished. Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard suffered another injury, making him the first player in the English top flight to be substituted in the first half of three consecutive matches.
Manchester United also celebrated a win, bouncing back from their Brentford debacle with a 2-0 triumph over Sunderland. Rúben Amorim's side climbed to eighth in the table, while the previously high-flying Premier League newcomers remained in sixth. At the top of the table, Arsenal temporarily leapfrogged Liverpool by a single point, though Szoboszlai's team is set to face Chelsea at 6:30 PM.
