Merciless Arsenal hit twice in 10 minutes

Arsenal needed to extend the lead over Manchester City and came out all guns blazing against West Ham. Arteta's side needed just 10 minutes to take a 2-0 lead over the Hammers at the London Stadium.

Gabriel Jesus scored in the 7th minute to continue his good run of form and confirm his third consecutive match scoring for the Gunners. The Brazilian managed to poke it home after Ben White was excellently fed through on the right, before he simply crossed it across the face of goal, where the Brazilian was lying in wait for the easiest finish he'll have in a while.

Just three minutes later Arteta's side struck again, but this time it was Odegaard who found the net. The Norwegian added his name to the score-board volleying straight in from a pin-point Martinelli cross. It was the 11th goal scored by the midfielder who is leading one of Arsenal's best teams in many years at the age of 24.

If the Gunners win against the Hammers, they would extend their lead over Manchester City to six points, although the Sky Blues have a game in hand against Arteta's side at the Etihad Stadium on 26th April.
