West Ham 1-0 Arsenal
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: London Stadium
Declan Rice's first West Ham goal proved enough to give the Hammers a first league win over Arsenal since 2015 at the London Stadium.
The 19-year-old struck early in the second half, teed up by former Arsenal man Samir Nasri, as Unai Emery's side put in a flat away performance.
Nasri was given the nod to face his old club from the start, while Marko Arnautovic was selected to lead the West Ham line, despite ongoing speculation about his future.
Mesut Ozil was left out of the Arsenal squad altogether as Unai Emery named the same XI that started the Gunners' last Premier League game, the 4-1 win over Fulham.
