Arsenal 4-1 West Ham: Late goals from Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette brace hand Arsene Wenger victory in penultimate home league game

Arsenal handed Arsene Wenger the perfect tonic to his impending departure with a handsome win over West Ham on Sunday.

The Gunners toiled for much of the afternoon but ran home convincing winners after a late flurry.

Aaron Ramsey's cross found its way into the back of the net before Alexandre Lacazette fired a late brace to add some gloss to the final score after Marko Arnautovic had cancelled out Nacho Monreal's opener.
