GettyArsenal scored four without reply before the hosts pulled two back.
But Saka’s penalty, which came moments before the break, put West Ham’s comeback on ice.
The spot-kick was a pivotal moment in the game, with Julen Lopetegui’s side turning up the heat after a quick-fire double from full-backs Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Emerson Palmieri.
Saka, who had already bagged two assists, was tasked with taking the penalty after captain Martin Odegaard slotted an earlier one away with style.
And despite the intense atmosphere, England’s star winger hit the target for his seventh goal of the season.
Saka’s effort silenced those in the home crowd dreaming of a shock upset.
Indeed, video footage captured from the stands appeared to show Saka laughing towards West Ham supporters as he celebrated his strike.
The ace also put a finger up to his lips, indicating silence.

Arsenal ratings vs West Ham
WEST HAM and Arsenal served up one of the finest London derbies in recent memory on Saturday night, with SEVEN goals in the first half alone.
The Gunners sailed into a 4-0 lead in the opening 35 minutes before the Hammers reduced the deficit with two quickfire goals, including a sublime Emerson free-kick.
Bukayo Saka’s penalty on the stroke of half-time made it 5-2, becoming only the fourth Premier League match in history to see seven goals before the break.
A relatively lacklustre second half followed, with Mikel Arteta ringing the changes, particularly with Wednesday night’s showdown with Man Utd at the Emirates in the back of his mind.
The result pulled the Gunners up to second in the Premier League table, six points behind Liverpool ahead of Sunday’s huge showdown between the leaders and a struggling Man City.
