Goalkeeper Petr Cech had an Arsenal league debut to forget as West Ham United pulled off an unexpected 2-0 win at Emirates Stadium.
The veteran Czech international moved from Chelsea in a £10 million summer deal, which was seen as move to provide the Gunners with an edge in the Premier League title challenge.
However, Cech was caught out when West Ham midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate headed in a first-half free kick and then Mauro Zarate slotted home a second on the break after 57 minutes to leave Gunners boss Arsene Wenger facing more questions about the direction of his side.
West Ham started with 16-year-old Reece Oxford in midfield, and he put in a mature display at the back.
Wenger was forced to use Alexis Sanchez a surprise substitute but he could not inspire the Gunners back into the game.
