Arsenal's trio of 10s tears West Ham apart as Gunners make another statement in 6-0 Premier League bashing

Martin Odeegard, Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard were on another level just like Declan Rice, who enjoyed his return to London Stadium
LONDON -- Tens, tens, tens across the board. Not only the player ratings Mikel Arteta must have been handing out in the dressing room post-match but how it must have felt for West Ham as they tried and failed to quell the devastating interplay that propelled Arsenal to their heaviest win of the season, 6-0 at the London Stadium.
Gabriel and William Saliba swelled their set piece scoring numbers in a sensational first half, sending West Ham supporters scurrying for Stratford in time for the sort of retail therapy they will really need after the joint-biggest home defeat in their history. Those that left at 4-0 down might well have felt vindicated at missing a second half that ended with Declan Rice, the man who led them to European glory last year, inflicting even more pain on his former manager David Moyes.
For Arsenal, this was ecstasy. As devastating as they were on dead balls again it was from open play that this side was at its most devastating. That has not always been the case for Arteta's men this season. On occasion, perhaps not as frequently as skeptics might imagine, they have felt a little clunky in breaking down low blocks. Give it to one of the wide tyros, trust them to make something with two or more defenders on them and go from there.
