Rice on target as Arsenal beat West Ham in Arteta's 300th game

Midfielder Rice rammed home a rebound in the 38th minute to reward Arsenal's domination against a defensively-minded West Ham who failed to register a shot on target.

Bukayo Saka then made the points safe from the penalty spot in the 67th minute to make it a satisfying 300th game in charge for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.

It capped a fine week for Arsenal who snatched a late comeback win at Newcastle United last weekend before beating Olympiakos in the Champions League on Wednesday.
