Key events
72 min: The ball is played through to Timber, who makes a run to the edge of the box before sending a pass to Havertz, but a deflection takes it away from the strikerâs path and FabiaÅski can claim.

Kick-off: West Ham 2-5 Arsenal
And just like that, weâre back under way!
John Cox is not convinced about the free kick decision that led to West Hamâs secondâ¦
âWas it me or did that free kick arise from a really terrible decision? Hard to see how Rice could have won the ball more cleanly.â
Tony is taking a moment to consider ex-West Ham manager David Moyes: âSomewhere David Moyes is out there, perhaps relaxing in his most comfortable Chesterfield chair, sipping an irn bru and whisky, watching this game.â
Jeremy Boyce says: âWow! Is Premier League Footie the new NBA? Goals Goals Goals today, and we havenât even started on tomorrowâs fixture list of teams whoâve forgotten how to defend, champions and challengers alike. Goal-less second half ?â
Kári messaged in midway through the first half: âOn the one hand, matches like this is why I fell in love with the game. On the other hand, at 4-0 I was already starting to prepare to make another batch of gingerbread during the second half. Now these biscuits will never get made.â
Then got back in touch when the half-time whistle went: âOkay, now that itâs 5-2 maybe I can risk making a new batch without getting so gripped that I forget the gingerbread in the oven.â
This is the point where I usually try to summarise the first half. But, to be quite honest, I donât know where to start.
It was all Arsenal in the opening 30 minutes, but Mikel Artetaâs side gave West Ham a glimpse at goal late in the half and they took it with both hands. Two goals, two minutes, and everything changes. That late penalty makes things a bit more comfortable for Arsenal â just.
Half-time: West Ham 2-5 Arsenal
