Arsenal appear to be in the form of their lives as they silenced West Ham United away at the London Stadium.
William Saliba scored the opener for Mikel Arteta's side, with a comfortable header, following a well swung in cross by Declan Rice.
Bukayo Saka doubled the lead for Arsenal in the 41st minute, scoring his first of the afternoon from the penalty mark after Hammers goalie Alfonso Areola was adjudged to have fouled the Englishman.
Three minutes later, Gabriel showed his attacking instinct, as he headed the ball past Areola, with Rice also the provider for this goal.
David Moyes' side was in limbo throughout the game, as they saw the Gunners put on their scoring boots to punish their naivety and weariness.
Two minutes into stoppage time, Leandro Trossard made it 4 for Arsenal, with the Belgian curling an unstoppable effort beyond Alfonso Areola.
The Frenchman did his best to stop the ball from going into the net as he had a hand on it, unfortunately, the effort was well-placed and sublime.
Many thought the Gunners would basically keep things simple in the second 45, however, to the amazement of many, Bukayo Saka pushed Arsenal further in front, as they continued their battering of West Ham United.
Two minutes later, Declan Rice hit an astonishing strike from long-range, leaving Areola hapless and unable to keep it out.
Rice didn't celebrate following the goal, due to his connection to West Ham United, having captained the club to European glory last campaign.
Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard had two assists in the game, but the Englishman had a goal to top his brilliance in the afternoon.
The victory saw Arsenal move closer to Manchester City and Liverpool in the battle for the league crown, as they are level on points with Pep Guardiola's side with one match played extra.
Meanwhile, they are two points adrift of the Reds, having played an equal number of games (24).
The victory meant that Mikel Arteta's side have now gone four matches unbeaten in the Premier League.
For West Ham United, they are in horrendous form, and they are yet to secure a victory across all competitions in 2024.
The last time David Moyes' side picked up a win was on Thursday, December 28, 2024, when they defeated Arsenal 2-0 in the reverse fixture.
The Hammers sit 8th on the log, with 36 points from 24 league matches, and they will be hoping for an upturn in fortunes in the coming games.
Expectedly, there will be some spotlight on the managerial position of David Moyes at West Ham, given the team's recent woes.
Anyway, Arsenal visit Turf Moor to play against Burnley, for their next fixture, which is a Matchday 25 Premier League encounter.
West Ham United also travel to The City Ground in Nottingham to play against Nottingham Forest for their Matchday 25 league fixture.
