The Unpredictable Half: Arsenal's Rampage and West Ham's Resurgence

In a surprising turn of events, after 36 minutes, West Ham was down 4-0 against Arsenal. The stadium saw fans disbursing early due to the early dismay, however, their team scored twice only four minutes later, reviving hope. Just as the fans started to believe again, a blow was dealt when West Ham's goalkeeper, Lukasz Fabianski, conceded a penalty which Bukayo Saka managed to convert, sending Arsenal 5-2 up at the break. Decidedly, the match was a brilliant spectacle of the unpredictability present in Premier League games, even breaking a record for the maximum number of first-half goals.

Amusingly, despite the initial disappointment, most of the West Ham fans returned to their seats for the second half. However, it unfortunately ended up being uncompetitive and goalless. As hope dimmed again, fans began to leave a second time. Amidst all this, it was observed that Arsenal's perfect mix of set-pieces and open play football were key to their winners, including Gabriel Magalhães' standalone 10th-minute header.

Arsenal's solid success with dark tactics paved the way for a full-on attack. Subsequent goals from Leandro Trossard, Martin Ødegaard, and Kai Havertz left West Ham in the dust, prompting the first wave of audience evacuation. Despite the overwhelming lead, surprisingly, West Ham managed to squeeze in a couple of goals, representing the unpredictability and never-give-up spirit that paints the Premier League's beautiful chaos.
