Arsenal Player Ratings v West Ham – Raya immense as Trossard delivers It was far from vintage Arsenal, but these are the types of afternoons that can define a title race. The Gunners survived enormous late pressure, a lengthy VAR review and several nervy moments before eventually escaping the London Stadium with a huge 1-0 victory over West Ham . Leandro Trossard delivered the winning goal, but David Raya may well have been Arsenal’s true match winner after a massive second-half save to keep the game level before the Belgian struck.
Here are the Arsenal player ratings from a dramatic afternoon in East London. Arsenal Player Ratings Ben White – 6 Started reasonably well before being forced off injured midway through the first half. Arsenal lost shape and rhythm after his departure.
William Saliba – 8 Another calm and composed display under pressure. Read danger brilliantly during West Ham’s late push. Gabriel – 8 Strong physically and dominant in key moments.
Important clearances throughout the second half. Riccardo Calafiori – 6 Got into excellent attacking positions early on but wasted two very promising opportunities. Hooked at half-time.
