Player Ratings: Dismal Arsenal beaten by West Ham to end hopes of Premier League title 

A poor afternoon for the Gunners, find out who, if anyone, shone for Mikel Arteta's side 

A first half header by Jarrod Bowen was enough to beat a poor Arsenal side and emphatcially end the Gunners fast fading hopes of a Premier League title challenge

Player Ratings:

David Raya: 6/10 - Ward Prowse getting outsprinted by David Raya is the only thing that has made me vaguely smile this afternoon...

Jurrien Timber: 5/10 - Missed out on a reunion with his brother at Feyenoord but will still return to the Netherlands when Arsenal travel to take on PSV in the Champions League Round of 16 in two weeks

Gabriel: 5/10 - The normally resolute centre-back was nowhere to be seen for Bowen’s opener

William Saliba: 5/10 -See above

Riccardo Calafiori: 4/10 - Supplemented colleagues further forward during forays into the Irons box, but a lacklustre challenge failed to prevent West Ham’s opener prior to Bowen’s header. Replaced by Myles Lewis-Skelly midway through the second half after an underwhelming performance

Thomas Partey: 5/10 - Unable to make an impact as was bypassed by West Ham’s pace

Declan Rice: 5/10 - Faced his former club with a point to prove but was replaced midway through the second half after a disappointing display

Martin Odegaard: 5/10 - Fired over before half time. Nowhere near as effective as his talent normally provides

Ethan Nwaneri: 5/10 - Tricky at times, but struggled to make an impact

Mikel Merino: 5/10 - Drafted in as a makeshift No9 following his heroics at Leicester last weekend. Worked hard off the ball, held the ball up well, and proved to be a useful conduit between midfield and attack. But, sadly, is simply not the answer as a striker.

Leandro Trossard: Anonymous

Substitutes:

Alex Zinchenko: 5/10 - Switched for Rice

Myles Lewis-Skelly: 5/10 - Replaced the disappointing Calafiori - only to be correctly sent off
