🦁 Arsenal run riot; Kluivert makes history; Palace out of bottom three | OneFootball

It was raining goals in the Premier League on Saturday with five games to enjoy.

Here's how it all went down.

Goals galore in London derby

Scorers: Wan-Bissaka 38'; Emerson 40'; Gabriel 10', Trossard 27', Ødegaard (PEN) 34', Havertz 36', Saka (PEN) 45+5'

Arsenal claimed London derby bragging rights with a 5-2 defeat of West Ham.

The visitors took an early lead through Gabriel Magalhães' header from a Bukayo Saka corner in the 10th minute.

Julen Lopetegui's side appeared to have levelled through Crysencio Summerville after a poor Riccardo Calafiori back pass before the offside flag spared his blushes.

The Gunners extended their advantage with a well-worked move as Saka teed up Leandro Trossard for a slotted finish following a one-two with Martin Ødegaard.

Ødegaard scored in his own right by squeezing a penalty past Łukasz Fabiański after Saka was hauled down in the area by Lucas Paquetá's trailing leg.

Less than two minutes later, Kai Havertz added to the rout by slotting home as he was teed up by Trossard to compound the misery for the hosts.

The Hammers clawed back their deficit when Aaron Wan-Bissaka slotted in before Emerson Palmieri struck a sublime free kick to beat David Raya.

But their hopes of a comeback were undone by a second penalty awarded after Fabiański's punched clearance caught Gabriel in the head at a corner.

Deep into first-half added time, Saka scored in his own right by firing low to the goalkeeper's righthand side to restore his side's three-goal cushion.

A cagier second 45 minutes saw both teams cancel each other out before Danny Ings spurned a golden chance of a late consolation by firing across the face of goal.

Mikel Arteta's men move to within six points of Liverpool, having played a game more, while West Ham are a similar margin away from the relegation zone in 14th.

Palace secure draw with last-gasp equaliser

Scorers: Guéhi 53' (OG); Muñoz 90+4'

Newcastle left Selhurst Park with just a point, as Marc Guéhi netted an unfortunate own goal.

Eddie Howe's men forced the opener when a well-worked free-kick saw Lewis Hall feed Sandro Tonali in the box, who allowed Antony Gordon to fire a cross-come-shot towards goal, which was turned in by Palace defender Guéhi.

It looks as though the Magpies would leave Selhurst Park with the three points, until Daniel Muñoz crashed in a late equaliser with a header at the far post.

That point lifts the Eagles out of the bottom three on goal difference.

Wood equals Forest record as Ipswich defeated

Scorers: Wood 49' (PEN)

Nottingham Forest returned to winning ways as another goal for Chris Wood saw them win 1-0.

The teams went in at half-time goalless, but the second half started with a bang when Ipswich forward Sammie Szmodics brought down Jota Silva in the box, and the referee awarded a penalty.

Up stepped the in-form Chris Wood and duly converted, as the striker equalled Brian Roy as Nottingham Forest's joint-all time top Premier League goalscorer.

Ipswich are still in the bottom three, sitting equal with Wolves with both sides on nine points.

Kluivert penalty hat-trick cancels out Strand Larsen brace

Scorers: Kluivert 3' (PEN), 18' (PEN), 73' (PEN),  Kerkez 8'; Strand Larsen 5', 69'

Justin Kluivert scored a hat-trick of penalties for the first time in Premier League history as Bournemouth defeated Wolves by a 4-2 scoreline.

The match began with a Bournemouth penalty when Evanilson was brought down by Toti Gomes in the box, and after a VAR check, the spot-kick was converted by Justin Kluivert.

But the home side hit back almost immediately as a sublime cross in from Jean-Ricner Bellegarde was met by a diving header from Jørgen Strand Larsen.

These two sides were determined to go all out in attack, and it wasn't long before Bournemouth were back in front as Marcus Tavernier picked out Milos Kerkez, who smashed his shot into the top corner.

It seemed like every chance would result in a goal in this crazy game, and soon Bournemouth had a second penalty when José Sa clipped Evanilson in the box.

Kluivert then stepped up to take his second of the day and went the other way, and although Sa guessed correctly, there was nothing he could do to stop it.

Wolves were not ready to give up though, and Strand Larsen bagged his second with a top-class finish from a Gonçalo Guedes pass.

But once again they could not capitalise as Sa clattered Evanilson and Bournemouth were awarded their third penalty of the game. Kluivert stepped up to take his third penalty of the game, which he confidently rolled into the net.

That result leaves Wolves inside the bottom three, equal on points with Crystal Palace and Ipswich.

Brentford come back to demolish Leicester

Scorers: Buonanotte 21'; Wissa 25', Schade 29', 45+8', 59'

New Leicester boss Ruud Van Nistelrooy was watching in the stands as the Foxes lost 4-1 to Brentford.

Leicester were ahead when Jamie Vardy put in some stellar work down the left-hand side, shrugging off his marker to lay on a tap in for Facundo Buonanotte.

Yet Brentford are strong at home and they were back level after just four minutes after Yoane Wissa finished from close range as a result of a low cross from Kevin Schade.

The tables were turned when another good move from the Bees as goalscorer Wissa worked the ball wide for Bryan Mbeumo to cross, and Schade was able to crash his shot low beyond Hermansen.

And as the first half went deep into stoppage time, Schade had his second with a dinked finish over Mads Hermansen.

Schade completed an extraordinary hat-trick just before the hour mark, after Nathan Collins curled in a superb ball that allowed a confident Schade to finish low beyond Hermansen.

That result pushes Brentford up to seventh in the table.

There's a huge day of Premier League action to come on Sunday, with struggling Manchester City's trip to Anfield to face Liverpool the pick of the bunch.
