West Ham United 1-3 Arsenal

Theo Walcott struck twice and Lukas Podolski netted a third as Arsenal came from behind to win at troubled West Ham and return top of the Premier League. Arsenal dominated the first half but fell behind as Carlton Cole tapped home after Wojciech Szczesny spilled a shot. The Hammers wasted chances to double the lead and Walcott equalised with an effort that Adrian should have saved. Substitute Podolski crossed for Walcott to nod Arsenal ahead, before Olivier Giroud teed up Podolski to lash in. Wse still for West Ham, results elsewhere saw them slip from 17th and a point outside the relegation zone to 19th and two points inside it.
