Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was delighted with his players for their 6-0 win at West Ham.

The Gunners went into the halftime break 4-0 ahead and were never threatened by the hosts.

William Saliba, Bukayo Saka (2), Gabriel Magalhaes, Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice struck for Arsenal on the day.

Arteta said: "I'm extremely happy. The way we performed, the way we played. Such a big score in a really difficult place tells you a lot about how well the boys played today.

"It's great to make [club] history especially the way we have done it. We're in a good moment and we you have good moments you have to build and maintain the momentum. The team from the beginning looked really sharp. We had to put right the last two results against them and that was a good motivation for the boys.

"When you talk about consistency at his [Bukayo Saka] age...what he has done in the last two or three seasons in remarkable. His attitude, his quality, what he delivers every week...it's really difficult to find. That's why he is so important to us.

"It's always difficult to come back to your old club. The fans were really good to him [Declan Rice] When he went to take the corner they clapped him so it's great to see that kind of reception. He loves this club so much and I know what it meant to him to play today.

"We have to share the goals. That desire and that commitment to get into the box to make things happen, it was excellent."
