It turns out there is life after Declan Rice. There would be no triumphant return to the London Stadium for the £105m man. West Ham were in no mood for a love-in with their former captain and relished punishing a diffident performance from Arsenal’s second string, cruising into the Carabao Cup quarter-finals thanks to thrilling bursts of attacking play from Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen early in the second half.
What a way for David Moyes to claim his first win over Arsenal as West Ham’s manager.
