Javier Hernandez could do nothing to help his side get a result at the Emirates

West Ham United

Joe Hart - 6/10

Didn't have much to do all game but cleared when he had to and fouled when he had to. Conceded a sloppy goal but was otherwise good.

Arthur Masuaku - 7.5/10

West Ham's best player on the night. He's got pace, strength and a directness that scares oppositions and he showed Arsenal that tonight with his searing runs.

Angelo Ogbonna - 7/10

A transformed player under David Moyes and one West Ham very well need. He's big and reads the game well - keeping Arsenal at bay throughout.

James Collins - 6.5/10

Did a good job on Giroud all night but needed to be more alert for Welbeck's goal in the first half.

Winston Reid - 6.5/10

Back in the side after serving his suspension, Reid did well handling Welbeck and Giroud at times. The upcoming fixtures will help him settle back in into the side.

Aaron Cresswell - 6.5/10

Was asked to do a lot defensively and didn't go forward as much as he'd like. Slipped into midfield often and could've made more overlapping runs.

Domingos Quina - 6.5/10

The teenager didn't have the best of games often overrun by Arsenal's midfield but showed signs that he could have what it takes to help West Ham out in the middle.

Pedro Obiang - 6.5/10

Hardly ever noticed him even though he's supposed to have played in the centre of the field. Needs to up his game if he wants to stay on and keep his place.

Declan Rice - 7/10

A promising performance from the teenager and he read the game better than most of West Ham's other players. Went forward when he had to and defended well when he had to. Moyes couldn't have asked for more.

Andre Ayew - 6.5/10

Made 17 passes all game and that ought to tell you enough of the service he was getting tonight. Had to drop deep and when he did, lost his duels too often.

Javier Hernandez - 6.5/10

Nowhere near his best but given he's back from an injury lay-off, it's understandable.

Substitutes

Andy Carroll - 6.5/10

Didn't punish Arsenal like he usually does. Was kept quiet by Rob Holding but in truth was starved of good service into the box.

Diafra Sakho - 6/10

Honestly, don't remember him playing for 30 minutes or so. Didn't make a single pass and was dispossessed twice.

Marko Arnautovic - 6/10

Came on for the last five minutes and was asked to score and assist both the equaliser and the winner but unfortunately, did neither.
