West Ham vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League score and goal updates as Alphonse Areola denies Leandro Trossard

23 mins: SAVE! A second huge chance in the space of two minutes for Trossard but this time he gets it right, unleashing a fierce volley on target which Areola superbly manages to tip over the bar.

22 mins: OVER! An enticing ball in from the right by Saka finds Trossard superbly in the box but the Belgian nods over from a good position. He should really be doing better.

21 mins: A sustained period of good possession for the hosts as Johnson’s ball in from the left is cleared by Gabriel.

A mistake from Emerson, though, allows Arsenal to break but Aguerd is well-placed to make a vital interception and stop Trossard picking up the ball inside the area.

17 mins: The corner comes in from the left but Arsenal can clear. Soucek rather dramatically hits the deck after minimal contact with Odegaard and the referee, rightly, waves away his appeals.

16 mins: West Ham, though, are growing into the game now as their houndish press prevents Arsenal from playing out from the back.

Bowen releases Johnson down the left flank but Kiwior does superbly to clear the low cross out for a corner with Kudus looking to get a strike on goal.

12 mins: Arsenal really pinning West Ham in now as they have a third corner in quick succession. Saka swings in the corner from the right but it’s too deep for Kiwior and flies out for a goal-kick.

10 mins: Rice eventually swings in the corner but Havertz’s header loops harmlessly up into the air and Areola claims with ease.

9 mins: An early yellow for the Hammers as Alvarez is late into the challenge with Saka. His eighth of the season already for the Mexican.

8 mins: A well-worked move from Arsenal as Martinelli receives the ball inside the box. His cross is looking for Trossard but it’s cleared away by Aguerd for a corner.

Rice swing the ball in to the back post but Areola claims the knock-down.

6 mins: A measured start to this contest from both sides. Arsenal with the lion’s share of possession but not posing the West Ham defence with any great threat so far.
