West Ham player ratings: Arsenal (A)

West Ham slumped to another defeat this afternoon, losing 3-1 to Unai Emery’s Arsenal.

This despite leading the game through Marko Arnautovic, who netted for the Hammers in the second half.

This wasn’t to last though, with a Nacho Monreal equaliser, followed by a Issa Diop own goal led to a West Ham defeat. Danny Welbeck added a third in stoppage time.

Here is how we rated the West Ham side today.

Lukas Fabianski – 6

Provided a good save to stop Mkhitaryan, and couldn’t do anything to stop the goals. Provided some decent stops later.

Ryan Fredericks – 8

One of the best players on the pitch for West Ham. Recovered from a shambolic debut.

Fabian Balbuena – 6

Much better display than his recent ones.

Issa Diop – 6

Not a bad debut, even with the own goal. But the mistake did cost West Ham.

Arthur Masuaku – 7

Caused Bellerin problems but the Spaniard got the better of him for the goal.

Carlos Sanchez – 7

Solid. Did his job with little fuss and looked better than Noble.

Jack Wilshere – 5

Poor return to the Emirates, and looked nowhere near the standard expected of him.

Robert Snodgrass – 6

Missed a late chance in the first half and will be annoyed that he didn’t affect the game more.

Michail Antonio – 6

Had the beatings of Bellerin from the 1st minute. Lacked a finishing touch.

Marko Arnautovic- 7

Scored again in his typical fashion. His knock will be a concern though.

Subs

Javier Hernandez – 5

Lucas Perez – 5

Andriy Yarmolenko – 5
