# West Ham 0-1 Arsenal: Player Ratings

- **West Ham defeated 1-0 by Arsenal at the London Stadium**
- **The Hammers remain in the relegation zone**
- **Callum Wilson’s equaliser ruled out in the final minutes**

In their battle for Premier League survival, West Ham United’s valiant performance was not enough as Arsenal edged out a 1-0 win at the London Stadium. The [Hammers](https://readwestham.com/) kept the title-chasers at bay for over 80 minutes, but Leandro Trossard broke the deadlock seven minutes from time.

Callum Wilson came off the bench to notch what looked like a deserved equaliser, but after a lengthy VAR review, the striker’s half-volley effort was ruled off. Officials decided Pablo fouled [Arsenal](https://readarsenal.com/) goalkeeper David Raya in the build-up to the goal.

The result keeps West Ham in the relegation zone, one point behind [Tottenham Hotspur](https://readtottenham.com/), who play tomorrow night.

Here are your player ratings.

## Player ratings

## Mads Hermansen – 6.5

The Dane was at no fault for the deciding goal. In the first half, he produced a reactive save on Leandro Trossard’s header to deny Arsenal the opener on their first corner.

## Malick Diouf – 6.5

The [Senegalese full-back](https://readwestham.com/2026/05/08/manchester-united-transfer-el-hadji-malick-diouf-west-ham/) stifled Bukayo Saka for the first hour and a bit, while also offering verticality down the left wing with a few testing deliveries. That said, he showed his rawness in his moments of discomposure.

## Axel Disasi – 7.0

The Frenchman was active in defending the wide areas and helped his left-back minimise the wide threat before being subbed.

## Konstantinos Mavropanos – 8.0

As reunions with former employees go, it was some showing. You wouldn’t know that he wasn’t the centre-back being earmarked for PFA awards. An incredible intervention to stop Riccardo Calafiori’s flicked header in the game’s opening stages. No player registered more defensive contributions than the Greek colossus.

## Jean-Clair Todibo – 6.0

The sparingly used centre-back evidently struggled with the game’s early pace, as Calafiori’s galloping run caused problems down the right channel. He would enjoy an easier second half with the opposition’s substitution.

## Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 6.5

Like his wing-back partner, Aaron Wan-Bissaka was a source of vertactile threat on the right – he created West Ham’s first credible chance with a driving run in transition and cross that set up Castellanos. Yet, he was unable to display the required composure.

## Mateus Fernandes – 7.5

Poise on the ball, persistent without it. His one-two play with substitute [Pablo](https://readwestham.com/2026/05/09/west-ham-pablo-felipe-pipped-by-kobbie-mainoo-for-premier-league-award/) was delightful, but he was unable to convert. The [Portuguese international](https://readwestham.com/2026/05/10/pablo-felipe-mateus-fernandes-west-ham-arsenal/) once again displayed why he has become so coveted despite his team’s campaign and will be playing against the likes of Arsenal next season, with or without West Ham.

## Tomas Soucek – 6.5

The midfielder’s game was very hinged on the opposition’s mid-game tactical shake-up. Struggled against the athletic presence of Declan Rice, but in the period that the former Hammers’ captain went right back, Tomas Soucek was commendable.

## Crysencio Summerville – 6.5

Enjoyed a decent second half against Cristhian Mosquera, but as the [Dutch winger](https://readwestham.com/2026/05/08/roma-contact-west-ham-crysencio-summerville/) has shown all season, too many of his moves end up promising rather than productive.

## Jarrod Bowen – 6.0

[The skipper](https://readwestham.com/2026/05/09/west-ham-jarrod-bowen-stay-says-glen-johnson/) was much more threatening in the second half after being restricted by Calafiori’s offensive endeavours in the first. Still, his contributions fell disappointingly short of his expected standard.

## Valentin Castellanos – 6.5

Valentin Castellanos worked hard in his 65 minutes of play. The striker, limited in his service, forced Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya into making an exceptional save to deny his close-range header.

Additionally, the Argentine had some nice touches and flicks to relieve visitors’ pressure and keep his teammates close in play.

## Substitutes

## Pablo – 6.5

Usually operating behind the striker, Pablo’s shift as the frontline’s main point of reference was promising. The Brazilian combined well with Mateus Fernandes for one of the few clear-cut chances West Ham had. However, it was his involvement in the late-game melee that gave the officials a reason to rule out the equaliser.

## Callum Wilson – 6.5

Called upon with five minutes to go, [West Ham’s super sub](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/25/west-ham-2-1-everton-player-ratingd/) delivered again in extra time but saw his equaliser controversially ruled out for the penalty box melee that ensued before his volley goal.
