Arsenal Vs West Ham United: Player ratings – Alexandre Lacazette rescues Gunners

5.5. He just is not a right-back. His passing was not as harmful as it has been in other performances at right-back of late, but defensively, West Ham could exploit Sokratis. Michail Antonio ran him down the line on several occasions, using his speed to break into the space in behind, while the Greek was always susceptible to getting too tight and having to foul to prevent being turned.. RB. Arsenal. SOKRATIS

Before Alexandre Lacazette arrived, Bukayo Saka was the best player on the pitch. He still shows his discomfort as a defender at times — he was beaten twice by Jarod Bowen and Michail Antonio when getting too tight — but his offensive play is superb. Drifts past defenders at speed, is so calm in possession under pressure, rarely gives the ball away, and delivers excellent cross after cross after cross. He really is special.. LB. Arsenal. BUKAYO SAKA. 7.0
