Claret and Hugh associate editor, Sean Whetstone, hands out his player ratings.
Fabianski Not at fault for the Arsenal goal but didn’t have a lot to do all night. 6
Fredericks Not the best West Ham defender and booked this evening but great cross for the assist for Antonio’s goal 6
Diop Doesn’t look completely match fit after his injury, he kept Aubameyang onside for Lacazette to score 4
Ogbonna showed his defensive capabilities to keep Aubameyang and Lacazette at bay, an early header on goal for the defender. 5
Cresswell A few good defensive headers and clearances this week but equally responsible for Lacazette’s goal 5
Rice Captain for tonight but not his best performance, responsible not marking Lacazette which allowed him in for his goal 5
Soucek Every present, tall and menacing and came close a few times 7
Masuaku He may not be the best defender but it makes a good left winger, looked lively. 8
Fornals A quiet night for Pablo but hard to pin any hard criticism on him 5
Bowen Good performance by Jarrod worked hard for the team 6
Antonio Every present and powerful, deserved the goal and should have got another two hitting the crossbar 8
Yarmolenko No rating –
Anderson No rating
Haller No rating
It;s tough to complain about the team when they were away at Arse and deserved something out of the game?
Good team effort, with few stand out performances
But didn’t think Fornals was worthy of a start and wasn’t involved and Bowen worked hard, but didn’t do much with his opportunities… although he was missed after he left and Yarmolenko didn;t track the runner for the winning goal.
Masuaku looked good, but produced little.
Best player was Soucek IMHO
I honestly can’t believe west ham fans at the moment,we were the most knowledgeable fans around but now I’m not so sure,we were robbed tonight plain and simple if anyone thought any different they don’t understand football!
When are we going to realise that moyes should have gone for the gate.ateame when like most of us, we realised Arsenal aren’t that great defensively and gone for the game not after 88 minutes bringing on haller, Anderson when it’s to late and we are 2 1 down… ♥ Breaking as ever
I thought other than Fornals and maybe Fab that weren’t really involved the team were 7’s and 8’s we should have had 2 penalties imho if not 2 definitely 1 for the handball,
