Arsenal player ratings vs West Ham: Not good enough! Wasteful Gabriel Jesus and weak Oleksandr Zinchenko hurt Gunners as Mikel Arteta's side slip up in Premier League title race

David Raya (5/10):

Had very little to do apart from twice picking the ball out of his net. Couldn't do anything about either goal.

Ben White (5/10):

Strayed out of position in the build-up to West Ham's opener which forced Saliba to cover and leave space in the middle for Soucek to score.

William Saliba (5/10):

Lacked his usual composure when scrapping for second balls, but didn't do anything massively wrong.

Gabriel (5/10):

Mixed bag. Slow to react and attempt to block Soucek's goal and beaten in the air by Mavropanos. Good on the ball and made a few good clearances.

Oleksandr Zinchenko (4/10):

Did little when tucking into midfield and made a couple of poor tackles when asked to defend.

Declan Rice (7/10):

Yet another supremely composed performance at the heart of the team. Arsenal's best player, though the injury-time penalty he conceded took the shine off his evening.

Martin Odegaard (7/10):

Started the game with his usual understated style but became a little sloppy on the ball in the second half. Still created a few chances, but not at his extraordinary best.

Leandro Trossard (6/10):

Always tried to make things happen but lacked the extra bit of quality to do so.

Bukayo Saka (7/10):

Forced some good saves out of Areola and was unlucky to smack the post just before the break. Created some decent chances but none were taken.

Gabriel Jesus (5/10):

Pressed well and used his body excellently in build-up play, but squandered two great headed chances with his side 2-0 down. Arsenal need a reliable goal scorer.

Gabriel Martinelli (5/10):

Lost his personal battle with Vladimir Coufal and was substituted with 25 minutes left. Made little impact from the left flank.

Reiss Nelson (5/10):

Replaced Martinelli on the left flank for the final 25 minutes but made no more impact.

Eddie Nketiah (4/10):

Invisible until he tried a timid late bicycle kick.

Emile Smith Rowe (5/10):

Earned 15 minutes to continue his recovery from injury but did nothing of note.

Mikel Arteta (6/10):

Didn't rush into changes just because his side were losing - they played well for much of the game. Switched things up to try and find a way though but his subs had little impact.
