On Saturday afternoon, Arsenal hosted West Ham United needing a win to keep their top-four hopes alive. Here are the player ratings from the 1-0 win.

Needing a victory to keep themselves somewhat in the top-four race, Arsenal snatched a 1-0 win against West Ham United on Saturday afternoon thanks to Alexandre Lacazette’s third goal in two weeks. There were plenty of hairy moments for the Gunners, and you could argue they were fortunate to come away with the three points, but Mikel Arteta and his players will simply be happy to go home knowing their Champions League hopes are not dead yet.

Goalkeeper

BERND LENO. 7.0. Made several excellent saves, the best of which was to deny Michail Antonio’s header in the second half, palming his hand in the air when his body was moving in the other direction. Also did very well to suffocate Sebastien Haller’s poor first touch in the first half and dominated his penalty area well, especially from set-pieces, making several very good punches clear. Just one moment of confusion with David Luiz and some poor distribution here and there. Otherwise, top notch.. GK. Arsenal
