Declan Rice's first West Ham goal secured a 1-0 win over Arsenal in a capital city derby clash at the London Stadium. The victory in Saturday's early kick-off saw the Hammers move up to eighth in the Premier League table, on 31 points, ahead of the bulk of the weekend's fixtures. Irish teenager Rice gave himself an early present for his 20th birthday on Monday by scoring the only goal of the game three minutes into the second half. The defeat dented Arsenal's bid to break into the top four, with the Gunners still adrift of Chelsea.

West Ham named Marko Arnautovic in their starting line-up despite the Austrian forward's brother and agent saying on Thursday he wanted to move to the Chinese Super League.
Former Arsenal favourite Samir Nasri started against his old club as the midfielder made his Premier League debut for the Hammers. Arsenal's Laurent Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi returned from injury for Arsenal but there was no place in Unai Emery's squad for Mesut Ozil. The match was goalless at the interval following near-misses by Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi and Hammers playmaker Felipe Anderson.
