      West Ham vs Arsenal LIVE RESULT: Imperious Declan Rice gets over boos to score once and assist twice in 6-0 win

      by

      ARSENAL had their way with West Ham at the London Stadium as Declan Rice enjoyed a scintillating return to his former club.The Gunners’ record signing was BOOED by home fans but certainly had the last laugh as he provided two assists and scored one of his own during a 6-0 rout of the Hammers.
      Three of those goals came in a devestating five-minute spell just before half-time as Bukayo Saka, Gabriel and Leandro Trossard made it 4-0 at the break after William Saliba’s opener.
      Those goals prompted a huge number of West Ham fans heading for the exit and it didn’t get much better from there.
      Saka scored again before Rice rounded off the scoring with a lovely curling long-range effort to make it six.

      Match result: West Ham 0-6 Arsenal.
      West Ham XI: Areola, Coufal, Aguerd, Zouma, Emerson, Johnson, Álvarez, Soucek, Ward-Prowse, Kudus, Bowen.
      Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior, Rice, Odegaard, Trossard, Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.

      FT: West Ham 0-6 Arsenal
      Arsenal have dominated this game from start to finish.
      They have been criticised in the past for not creating enough clear-cut chances but they have answered their critics today.
      The Gunners have now scored 16 goals in their last 4 games.

      The referee puts West Ham out of their misery.
      It is a fantastic result for Mikel Arteta’s side.

      Copy linkCopiedView from SunSport’s Isabelle Barker at the London Stadium
      THINGS are looking bleak here at the London Stadium with Arsenal fans waving hordes of West Ham fans to the nearest exits. 
      Cameras panned to David Moyes’ ice-cold stare on the touchline against a backdrop of countless empty seats after Bukayo Saka made it 5-0. 
      There haven’t been any chants aimed at the Hammers boss himself but the fans were serenaded to a chant of “there’s nobody here, there’s nobody here”.
      To make matters worse Declan Rice hit an absolute screamer just moments later for 6-0 but chose not to celebrate and only tapped the Arsenal badge instead – prompting more fans out the door. 
      West Ham fans would be better off leaving at full-time today to avoid the crowds.

      70. If this scoreline stays like this, or gets worse for the hosts, it will be Arsenal’s biggest win over The Hammers.

      Not much in that one, he caught the winger on the boot as they both challenged for the ball.

      Christian Horner updates — Red Bull boss set for hearing following allegations with F1 chief’s future to be decided

      by

      CHRISTIAN Horner will face his hearing today over allegations of “inappropriate behaviour” towards a female member of staff at Red Bull.The crunch talks will determine whether the F1 chief, 50, will keep his job as the team’s head.
      Horner is said to be preparing to fight to save his future at Red Bull after he vowed to pals to “clear his name.”
      An independent lawyer who has been appointed to examine the woman’s claims is set to quiz him at the meeting today.
      Read our live blog below for the latest news and updates…
      When does the F1 season start?
      The 2024 Formula One season begins in just a few short weeks.
      The action kicks off in Sakhir on March 2 with the Bahrain Grand Prix.
      Red Bull is reportedly hoping to have its internal investigation completed by then, although that has not been confirmed.
      Copy linkCopiedChristian Horner pictured ahead of talks
      Christian Horner was pictured ahead of his hearing today over allegations of “inappropriate behaviour” towards a female member of staff.
      The meeting – which will determine whether the F1 chief, 50, will keep his job as the team’s head – was moved last minute to a secret location.

      Copy linkCopiedThe ‘Kardashian-style’ scandals that plagued Christian Horner’s Red Bull
      The Red Bull F1 team has been plagued with controversy in recent years.
      So we looked back on seven of the scandals that hit Christian Horner’s team prior to this week’s allegations.
      From the team’s drivers clashing to accusations of “xenophobia” it hasn’t always been an easy ride for the Austrian team.

      Copy linkCopiedHorner continued in role amid allegations
      Neither Horner nor his accuser have been suspended and continue to work among 1,600 employees at Red Bull’s HQ.
      Horner was seen on Thursday leaving his Highgate home for the first time since news broke of the bombshell allegations.
      And today the F1 boss is reportedly attending a hearing to determine his future at the company.
      Copy linkCopiedWhere is the meeting taking place?
      Originally set to take place in Red Bull’s Milton Keynes HQ, it is believed the meeting’s location was moved amid high media interest.
      Now, it has been reported the hearing will take place in London.
      No outcome is expected today.
      Copy linkCopiedExternal lawyer hired to probe claims
      The world of Formula One was left in shock on Monday after it emerged that Horner had been placed under investigation by Red Bull Austria.
      The parent company said that after being informed of “certain recent allegations” it had hired an “external, specialist lawyer” to probe the claims.
      It has allegedly compiled a “dossier of incriminating material” regarding “inappropriate and controlling behaviour” towards one female staffer.
      Copy linkCopiedWho could replace Christian Horner?
      Perhaps the first name that comes to mind is Oliver Oakes.
      Oakes, 35, would be a ready-made replacement, owing to the similar career path he shares with Horner.
      The Brit is a former racing driver turned team-owner in the lower formulas.
      However, Oakes is also a former Red Bull junior driver so has strong links with the race team and the company’s HQ in Austria.

      Copy linkCopiedWhat is Christian Horner’s net worth?
      Christian has amassed considerable wealth thanks to his career in motorsport racing.
      He is the highest-paid team boss in F1 and has an estimated salary of around £8million ($10m) a year after joining Red Bull in 2005.
      With that in mind, he has collected a reported £440million fortune.
      Copy linkCopiedWhat has Christian Horner been accused of?
      Formula One was rocked on Monday by the news that the sport’s longest-standing team principal had been placed under investigation by Red Bull Austria.
      The company has allegedly compiled a “dossier of incriminating material” regarding inappropriate and controlling behaviour towards one female staffer, The Telegraph reports.
      Horner issued an immediate denial on Monday, stating: “I reject these claims entirely.”
      Copy linkCopiedGeri Halliwell supporting husband with ‘every fibre of her being’
      Geri Halliwell is standing by her husband Christian Horner, a source has said.
      The source revealed: “She is committed to him with every fibre of her being.”
      However, the scandal engulfing her husband has blown a “Grand Canyon-sized crack” right in the middle of her “super-perfect, super-posh life,” they claimed.
      Another source close the singer told The Sun on Monday: “Geri has been in floods of tears all weekend while looking after her kids.
      “She is insisting Christian has done nothing wrong.”
      Copy linkCopiedGeri Halliwell ‘too upset to talk’ amid Christian Horner allegations
      A friend revealed that Geri Halliwell is “not talking to anyone at the moment,” following the emergence of allegations against husband Christian Horner.
      They told the Daily Mail: “Geri seems to be simply too upset to engage with anyone. Just lots of tears.
      “She will stand by him and be at his side just as much as she always has been. She never misses a race and that will not change.”
      Copy linkCopiedRed Bull hopes for resolution before season begins
      Red Bull is said to want the issue sorted out before the first race meeting of the new F1 season, which starts in Bahrain at the end of the month.
      Neither Horner nor his accuser have been suspended and continue to work among 1,600 employees at the Austrian team’s HQ.
      Horner was seen on Thursday leaving his Highgate home for the first time since news broke of the bombshell allegations.
      Copy linkCopiedHearing location moved amid high media interest
      The hearing was initially meant to be held at the Red Bull team headquarters in Milton Keynes, Bucks, but the high media interest forced officials to move it to a different location, the Times reports.
      Horner is said to be preparing to fight to save his future at Red Bull after he vowed to pals to “clear his name.”
      An independent lawyer who has been appointed to examine the allegations is set to quiz him at the meeting today.
      Copy linkCopiedWho is Red Bull’s chief executive?
      Since the death of co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz in 2022 there have been rumours of internal issues within Red Bull.
      After the billionaire’s death, Red Bull drafted a new board of directors to oversee the business.
      Former RB Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff was appointed chief executive.
      Despite Red Bull enjoying its most successful season in F1 history in 2023, there was speculation of a rift between Horner and Helmut Marko – Red Bull GmBH’s motorsport advisor.
      Copy linkCopiedWhat has Christian Horner said about the claims?
      Horner issued an immediate denial on Monday, stating: “I reject these claims entirely.”
      His defenders have claimed the accusations are part of a plot to oust him within the team amid an internal power struggle.
      Copy linkCopiedGeri will standby her husband
      Horner’s Spice Girl wife Geri Halliwell, 51, is said to be devastated by the bombshell allegations – but will firmly stand by her husband, who she married in 2015.
      A source said: “[She is] not talking to anyone at the moment. Geri seems to be simply too upset to engage with anyone. Just lots of tears.
      “She will stand by him and be at his side just as much as she always has been. She never misses a race and that will not change.”

      Unai Emery reckons his side competed this evening.
      He also believes his side played at a good pace with the right mentality, despite the gulf in class.
      He told Match of the Day: “We competed. We started the first 15 minutes creating chances but we didn’t score. Maybe it was the key moment. And then they created chances, were clinical, and they scored.
      “In the second half we started trying to score one more, to push and create some chances. We did not do this very clear and they scored the third goal. After that our speed was very good and the mentality as well. Even when we were losing 3-0 we created chances. We have to accept it.
      “Chelsea is a very good team, they can play like tonight and get these performances. Of course we are going to try again and focus on the Premier League. We are being consistent there. It is a new challenge, and going for the league as well, it is important to be a contender at the end of the season.
      “It’s not a surprise because Chelsea can perform like this. We competed, but not over 90 minutes, in some periods. We have to accept it and of course we have to try to analyse and improve things.”
      Copy linkCopiedCalm before the rout
      Mauricio Pochettino admitted feeling CALM before tonight’s game – despite mounting pressure on his own job.
      The Chelsea boss was asked if he thought this was the best performance of the season.
      He told ITV: “I think so. It was one of the best, maybe the best performance of the season. I am so happy with the performance and the way the players enjoyed playing football. That pleased me the most.
      “We are a young team and being consistent is the most difficult thing in a young team. With a young team to find the balance is the most difficult thing.”

      Chelsea skipper Ben Chilwell says tonight’s result and performance was ‘needed’ and said the changing room were confident before the game that they’d get through.
      He told ITV’s coverage: “It was exactly the reaction we wanted and needed. It wasn’t about wanting a reaction. We needed it. Fair play to all of the boys.”
      “We wanted that pressure. We thrived off it. The confidence before the game in the changing room was the best I have seen it – the togetherness.
      “We delivered on the pitch today.
      “As a club, the players, manager, the staff, the fans everyone involved in the club. It wasn’t just the manager. Everyone associated with the club needed that today.”
      Copy linkCopiedNumbers from Villa Park
      Aston Villa fought back in that second half, according to the stats.
      But the game was done by Chelsea’s third goal and they let Villa enjoy more of the ball at that stage.
      Petrovic didn’t have too much to do in the Blues goal, for the amount of attempts Villa had.

      Copy linkCopiedMatch report from inside Villa Park
      Thiago Silva’s missus had demanded that it was ‘time to change’ at Chelsea – and Mauricio Pochettino agreed.
      He dropped Thiago, fielded even more inexperienced kids than usual, and watched his youthful side tear Aston Villa to shreds to reach the FA Cup fifth round. 
      The Blues had lost all of their last six matches north of the Watford Gap, with everybody telling Poch that his side lacked experience and nous. 
      But in the FA Cup, you often have to forget everything you thought you knew. 
      This certainly wasn’t a classic David-versus-Goliath Cup upset, given that Pochettino’s squad has had £1billion spent on it.
      Yet it was a genuine shock, given Villa’s outstanding campaign and Chelsea’s calamitous recent form.
