Walcott is brought down as he recieves Ozil's pass but the play continues.

Payet with a great run as he left alone on the wings after he loses the Arsenal defenders. Nothing comes off it though.

Five minutes of additional time allotted.

Giroud hits a wayward shot following a cross from Oxlade into the box.

Arsenal have attempted 18 shots on goal while West Ham have had 7.

The fans are leaving the stadium already.

A long range attempt from Santi but Adrian keeps it out. Counter for West Ham now.

Almost! Oxlade's attempt hits the side netting.. Less than 10 minutes to go.

Petr Cech with a save. It has been a pretty tough night for the Czech Republic star so far.

GOOOAL! Shane Long equalises for Southampton. 2-2 now.

Reece Oxford comes off for Nolan. The 16-year old gets a standing ovation from the crowd.

Less than 10 minutes to go. Can Arsenal savour anything from this game?

A blunder from Koscielny as he heads the ball towards the goal with Petr Cech somehow intercepting it.

Theo Walcott has a go at the goal, but the ball goes wide off.

"Are you watching Allardyce?" chant the West Ham fans.

Wenger "can I have a refund on Cech please Jose?" http://t.co/3tqohYfbVj

The best highlights for Arsenal so far are the ones being sported by Giroud and Ozil.

An hour gone and West Ham lead 2-0 at the Emirates. Meanwhile, Arsenal have changed their formation to 4-2-3-1 after Coquelin was subbed off to make way for Theo Walcott.

0% - Petr Cech's saves to shots ratio. Not the PL start he was looking for!

GOAL ZARATE... I remember his 1st season with Lazio when he looked like a world beater. Goofy, inconsistent player with random flashes.

GOOOAL! Zarate doubles West Ham's lead.

Ozil's cross is well controlled by the striker but he lashes out a shot wide of near post.

That was close from Oliver Giroud!

It's half time at the Emirates as Arsenal, against the run of play, are trailing 1-0 against the visitors West Ham United courtesy of a 42nd minute goal from Sakho. West Ham's new signing Dimitri Payet from Marseille provided the assist from a set piece and he has been the best player for the Hammers. Arsenal have had 4 shots on target and have threatened on occasions but haven't been able to create any clear chances.

Poor keeping from Cech but Kouyate given free run. Koscielny closest. Payet settling in well for #whufc so far.

End to end stuff at the Emirates. Arsenal break through into West Ham's 18-yard-area but a last minute block is made which allows West Ham to counter but Arsenal manage to hold them off in midfield.
