Gabriel Paulista – 6
Was solid when required but was fortunate to come up against a very disappointing Dimitri Payet who failed to have any influence on the game.
Shkodran Mustafi – 7
Started attacks from the back with his distribution and he didn’t allow Ashley Fletcher a moment’s peace when the ball did come his way. Often stepped up to help out the midfield when needed.
Laurent Koscielny – 7
When some of his teammates began to switch off, it was the Frenchman who was driving the team on in the closing stages. Had no problem at all up against a poor West Ham front line.
Nacho Monreal – 8
Got forward well as he teamed up with Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to exploit all of Edimilson Fernandes’ weaknesses in a display which showed all of his experience and quality.
