How we rated the Irons v Arsenal

Coufal:  Sent off. Good concentration and blocking. Unlucky with the second yellow and penalty. 6

Dawson:  Thwarted a certain goal with a magnificent tackle on Martinelli then repeated it against Xaka later in the half. Couldn’t keep up such high standards in the second half. 9

Diop: Had to deal with persistent back passes from Masuaku as Arsenal pinned Hammers into their own half. 6

Masuaku:  Had the hardest gig of the evening trying to mark Saka. 5

Rice:  Worked his socks off and as usual looked like West Ham’s best player for parts of the match. Clearly frustrated with a lack of quality around him. 7

Soucek:  Played most of the first half just outside the 18 yard box such was Arsenal’s dominance but tackled superbly.  6

Bowen:  Full of energy and running, a massive help to Coufal. Threatened the Arsenal goal during a rare West Ham attack.  7

Lanzini:  Along with Rice he was in a minority asking for the ball to feet but unable to impact the game.  6

Fornals:  Almost scored in the first half with a delicious curled effort. Anonymous for large parts. 5

Antonio: Too many indulgent dribbles with no pass to teammates. Moyes swapped him to the wing. 5

Subs

Benrahma:  On for Lanzini with 15 mins to go. Gave the ball away for Arsenal’s second goal. Harsh to give him a rating based on such a short stint but he wasn’t too clever.
