Premier League 2025-26: Rice on Target while Arsenal West Ham defeated Arteta in the 300th match

For the time being, Arsenal moved the top of the Premier League when Declan Rice scored against his old Club West Ham United in a 2-0 home victory in a LOP-NIDED London-Deby on Saturday.

Midfielder Rice rammed a rebound in the 38th minute to reward Arsenal’s dominance against a defensive West Ham who could not register a shot on goal.

Bukayo Saka then made the points safe against the penalty spot in the 67th minute to make it a satisfactory 300th game that is in charge of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.

It closed a nice week for Arsenal, which took a late comeback win in Newcastle United last weekend before beating Olympiakos in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Arteta’s side has 16 points of the opening of seven games, a more than Liverpool, although the champion could later regain the top position at Chelsea.

West Ham remains second of the bottom with four points.
