In this episode we look back at hugely impressive 6-0 win over West Ham on Sunday. This was a game where Arsenal were good far more than the opposition were bad, and we chat about how we broke down and then dismantled the Hammers. There's discussion of set-piece goals, Bukayo Saka from the spot, Leandro Trossard's impressive stats, and of course the contribution of Declan Rice with two assists and a brilliant goal against his former club. We also chat about Ethan Nwaneri, goal difference and ruthlessness before answering listener questions about Rice in the pantheon of the Premier League's most expensive signings, Gabriel Jesus, how the winter break has helped us improve, OLEing, and lots more.
