"Saka had a goal ruled out for offside before Rice's ruthless opener seven minutes from half-time against the club with whom he won the 2022/23 Conference League, joining the Gunners that July for £100 million. After a Video Assistant Referee review ruled El Hadji Malick Diouf had brought down Jurrien Timber inside the box, Saka celebrated his 200th league appearance by blasting his 67th-minute spot kick past Alphonse Areola for the forward's second goal of the season."
"Arsenal centre-back Gabriel came off in the 75th minute against Olympiacos but was fit to start. Defender Piero Hincapie was out with a groin issue but could return after the international break, while forwards Noni Madueke, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus all have knee injuries. Full-backs Timber and Riccardo Calafiori returned and Rice and Eze also came in, with Martin Zubimendi, Gabriel Martinelli, Mikel Merino, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ben White dropping to the bench."
Arsenal defeated West Ham 2-0 at the Emirates with Declan Rice scoring and Bukayo Saka converting a 67th-minute penalty. Saka had an earlier goal disallowed for offside before Rice opened the scoring seven minutes before half-time. VAR awarded the penalty after El Hadji Malick Diouf brought down Jurrien Timber inside the box, and Saka marked his 200th league appearance with the spot-kick. The victory moved Arsenal one point clear of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League. Arsenal made several lineup changes and face Fulham next while West Ham prepare to host Brentford.
