Summary
Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to to reflect on Arsenal's biggest away victory since 1935, beating West Ham 6-0 at the London Stadium.
Declan Rice was exceptional, providing two assists before scoring a screamer from 25 yards.
Bukayo Saka got his 50th and 51st Arsenal goal, the youngest player to hit a half century for the club since Frank Stapleton in 1978.
Set pieces proved important once again, but is the open play fluidity we saw so much of last season returning?
Plus, a lively cameo for 16 year old Ethan Nwaneri, and the importance of collective responsibility.
Produced by Jay Beale.
