Ruthless Arsenal exact revenge on West Ham
Nottingham, England - Arsenal exacted sweet revenge on West Ham United with a 6-0 away thrashing to stay right in the thick of the Premier League title race on Sunday, obliterating their hosts before halftime.
Mikel Arteta's side had lost twice against their London rivals this season but were 4-0 ahead by halftime with goals by William Saliba, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel and Leandro Trossard.
The punishment continued in the second half with Saka making it 5-0 before former West Ham midfielder Declan Rice, who assisted two goals in the opening period, thumped his team's sixth on a day of abject humiliation for the hosts.
It was a sublime display by Arsenal who wiped off a goal difference deficit to champions Manchester City who they joined on 52 points, although they stay in third place courtesy of scoring fewer goals. Leaders Liverpool have 54 points.
Newcastle beat Forest
Brazilian Bruno Guimaraes netted twice as Newcastle United
held off a spirited comeback from Nottingham Forest to win 3-2 at the City Ground in Saturday's late game.
Both Newcastle's first-half goals, scored by Guimaraes and Fabian Schar, came from set pieces, and the visitors struggled to deal with the pace of Forest's counter-attack. A corner from Miguel Almiron found Kieran Trippier, and his deep cross was brilliantly volleyed home by Guimaraes in the 10th minute.
Swedish winger Anthony Elanga netted for the hosts on the break in the 26th minute and though Newcastle's Schar scored in the 44th, Callum Hudson-odoi made it 2-2 deep into first-half stoppage time.
Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi had a goal ruled out for offside early in the second half and he was denied a penalty in when a long ball caught the Newcastle defence out, but his appeals were waved away.
