In-form Ghana attacker Mohammed Kudus was on target when West Ham United recorded a massive victory to eliminate Arsenal from the EFL Cup on Wednesday evening.

The Hammers are through to the next round of the competition after defeating Arsenal 4-0 in the fourth round at the London Stadium.

Ben White headed an own goal past Aaron Ramsdale - playing his first club game since September - before Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen secured the win.

West Ham took the lead from a corner in the 16th minute with Bowen swinging the ball in close to Ramsdale, before White nodded it past him.

Arsenal dominated possession but failed to break through in the first half. Eddie Nketiah skewed over their best chance from eight yards following Oleksandr Zinchenko's knock-down.

And they were punished five minutes after the break when Kudus beautifully trapped Nayef Aguerd's 50-yard cross-field pass before finishing low through the legs of Gabriel and into the far bottom corner.

West Ham's win was safe shortly before the hour when Bowen collected a poor defensive header from White and fired in a volley from the edge of the area, a deflection off Gabriel's thigh wrongfooting Ramsdale. 

Arsenal captain scored a consolation for Arsenal deep into stoppage time.

Kudus has scored four goals in 12 matches for West Ham United across all competitions in his maiden season at the club.
