Eddie Nketiah put the icing on the cake with a lovely finish as Arsenal return to English Premier League action with a convincing win against London rivals West Ham.

The English-born Ghanaian who was handed a starting role following injury to Gabriel Jesus, repaid manager Mikel Arteta's faith in him with an incredible team goal.

Nketiah cleverly turned his marker before slotting home to finish off a swift display from the Gunners.

In a video that has since gone viral on social media, Nketiah is seen celebrating wildly after scoring Arsenal's third.

Arsenal was pegged down in the first half after Algerian forward Said Benrahma scored from the spot in the 27th minute.

However, the league leaders bounced back after the break with Bukayo Saka levelling from a Martin Odegaard assist.

Gabriel Martinelli gave Arsenal the lead five minutes later before Nketiah sealed victory with twenty minutes remaining.

His compatriot Thomas Partey was replaced in the 90th minute by Mohamed El Neny.
