But Podolski unleashed Arsenal’s equalizer just 4 minutes later. Despite several chances, Arsenal failed to take the lead. However, it would all change in the space of 10 minutes, as the Gunners blitzed the West Ham goal. Giroud stabbed home on 47 minutes, before Cazorla back-heeled to make it 3-1. Within a minute, it was 4-1 as Walcott rifled home from close range off a Podolski cross. Before West Ham even realized what had hit them, Giroud made it 5-1 with a poacher’s finish.
