Declan Rice haunts West Ham in comfortable Arsenal win

Mikel Arteta enjoyed a triumphant 300th match in charge of Arsenal after goals by Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka clinched a 2-0 home win over West Ham. The Hammers had claimed all three points on their last two visits to Emirates Stadium to dent the Gunners' title bids, but their old captain Rice helped ensure it was a different story this time. Rice broke the deadlock in the 38th-minute with a powerful finish before Saka's penalty after 67 minutes wrapped up a routine victory for the Gunners. It was not a perfect afternoon for Arteta with captain Martin Ødegaard forced off with an injury and Viktor Gyökeres unable to score to extend his goal drought to six matches going into the October international break. New West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo has far more problems, though, with the east London side firmly in the relegation zone after a fifth Premier League loss of the campaign. After recent criticism over a failure to take the handbrake off, Arteta went bold in his milesto...

Senne Lammens kept a clean sheet on his Manchester United debut to help ease some of the pressure on his boss Ruben Amorim. Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko scored the goals in United's 2-0 win over Sunderland but the crowd enjoyed the goalkeeper's display

Lammens' best save came late in the game when he kept out a Chemsdine Talbi effort with his legs but the Belgian goalkeeper was hardly overworked. There were bigger cheers when he claimed a cross in stoppage time, his second good claim of the game. How United need that sort of commanding presence in goal with supporters unconvinced by the performances of Altay Bayindir. Lammens, signed from Antwerp late in the window, also looked composed when kicking with his right and left foot. There was one hairy moment when he chased out of his goal on the angle only to see Bertrand Traore get there first amid some uncertainty with Bruno Fernandes. But as debuts go, this was a fine effort from a 23-year-old goalkeeper with a huge task ahead of him.

Chelsea's 100 per cent WSL record ended with Man Utd draw

Chelsea's 100 per cent record in the Barclays WSL this season has come to an end as they played out an entertaining 1-1 draw against Manchester United. Marc Skinner's side had taken just a single point from their previous 11 league encounters with Chelsea, but thoroughly deserved their second after Sweden full-back Anna Sandberg's superb volley levelled Wieke Kaptein's early well-worked opener. It was the first time the Blues had dropped a point since March and, in her 27th league game since replacing Emma Hayes, rarely has boss Sonia Bompastor come closer to her first defeat in domestic competition. The French coach's tension showed when she bellowed at the fourth official after a decision went against her team in the United box, earning a yellow card from referee Abigail Byrne and derision from the home supporters in the stand behind her. Not even the second-half introduction of superstar forward Sam Kerr could help Chelsea force an equaliser, despite spendi...
