# 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
