West Ham United beat Arsenal 1-0 to move up to eighth in the Premier League table.

The Hammers’ victory came courtesy of a Declan Rice goal in the 48th minute, his first for the club.

A lacklustre Arsenal pushed for the equaliser – managing to find the back of the net late on, only to see the flag go up for offside – but ultimately fell to defeat.

So how did the two teams fare? See the gallery below for our player ratings.
