Alphonse Areola 5/10
WEST HAM RATINGS: Excellent reaction save to turn Trossard volley over bar. Booked when he brought down Saka for penalty, which same player scored to make it 2-0. A few other decent saves but woefullyShow more
Vladimir Coufal 4/10
Played Saka onside ahead of Arsenal attacker running through on goal and being brought down by keeper for first-half penalty. Struggled against Martinelli when Brazilian hit full pace. AFP
Kurt Zouma 4/10
West Ham had only lost twice at home all season but Zouma and the rest of team were simply blown away in opening 45 minutes. Easily beaten by Trossard as Belgian curled home fourth goal. Taken off at Show more
Nayef Aguerd 4/10
Moroccan defender struggled throughout against pace of Saka and Co. Skinned by England attacker for fifth goal. Hammers were also dreadful dealing with Arsenal dead balls on day to forget for home sidShow more
Emerson 4/10
Given torrid time by Saka but given little defensive support as England attacker was given freedom to run at West Ham at will. AFP
Edson Alvarez 3/10
Booked in opening 10 minutes for reckless tackle on Saka, his 12th yellow card in 28 games season. Hooked at break after Arsenal dominated middle of park and with a second yellow probably on way. PA
Tomas Soucek 4/10
Went down in box looking for first-half penalty after very slight Odegaard pull but rightly ignored by referee and VAR. Chasing Arsenal shadows all game and rarely looked like catching them. Getty ImaShow more
Ben Johnson 4/10
Dropped back to play Gabriel onside ahead of Arsenal’s third goal which summed up West Ham’s first-half defensive nightmare. Failed to lay glove on Arsenal in midfield role. AFP
James Ward-Prowse 4/10
Part of a dreadful midfield performance from home side as they failed to provide cover for defence or supply line to forwards. PA
Mohammed Kudus 4/10
Nothing performance from Ghanian who was invisible man for most of match but did pick up booking for stupid foul on Martinelli in second half. Had shot saved by keeper in last 10 minutes. AFP
Jarrod Bowen 5/10
A thankless task up front with service non-existent. Ran heart out but no real chance of adding to his 14 goals this season. PA
Kalvin Phillips 5/10
SUBS: (On for Alvarez,46’) Brought on to try and shore up a midfield that went AWOL in first half. Sprayed a couple of nice passes around but Gunners still allowed far too much space. Booked for poor Show more

David Raya 6/10
ARSENAL RATINGS: One of the easiest games the Spaniard will ever enjoy. No save to make until 83rd minute when Gunners were strolling at 6-0 up. Getty Images
Ben White 7/10
Not remotely troubled defensively and able to help out at other end of pitch, earning assist for Rice’s super strike although pass wasn’t really intended for midfielder. Reuters
William Saliba 8/10
Headed opening goal from corner after sustained period of Gunners pressure for second goal of season. Rest of game was walk in park for French centre-half. PA
Gabriel 8/10
Headed home third goal from Rice’s ball as West Ham’s defence again went missing. Little trouble dealing with Bowen who was left completely isolated up front. EPA
Jakub Kiwior 8/10
Started in place of Oleksandr Zinchenko, Pole showed perfect timing to get in front of dangerous cross ahead of Kudus and turn out for corner. Nice cross for Saka that attacker should have scored fromShow more
Declan Rice 9/10
Up against former club and jeered throughout but set up goals with perfect cross for Saliba and Gabriel from a corner and free-kick, respectively. Wonderful strike to make it 6-0 which was his last toShow more
Martin Odegaard 8/10
At heart of outstanding team performance, pulling strings from midfield as he and Saka tormented West Ham throughout. Nice little ball with outside of boot to tee-up Trossard’s goal. PA
Bukayo Saka 9/10
Hectic spell in first half when he sent a header and a deft little chip wide of target, before being brought down in box for penalty, which he then finished himself for 50th Gunners goal. Made it 5-0 Show more
Kai Havertz 7/10
German not among the goals but still played part in ruthless Arsenal attacking show. Linked up well with teammates. Getty Images
Leandro Trossard 8/10
Should have put Arsenal in front in 23rd minute but headed Saka cross over bar, then forced keeper into reflex save with thumping volley moments later. Made it 4-0 with curling finish into top corner Show more
Gabriel Martinelli 7/10
Lovely cut-back cross to pick out Trossard who almost volleyed Gunners into lead. A constant menace who was surprisingly not among the goals or assists. Getty Images

SUBS: (On for Troddard, 67’) Shot straight at keeper after run and pass from Martinelli. AFP
