West Ham United v Arsenal player ratings: Thomas Soucek 6, Jesse Lingard 9; Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 5, Alexandre Lacazette 9

Gunners fight back from 3-0 down to earn draw in thrilling match at London Stadium

• 

  WEST HAM RATINGS: Lukasz Fabianksi - 6: Polish goalkeeper up against his former club dropped his first catch under no pressure and was lucky to retrieve ball before an Arsenal player could react. No chance with any of the goals. Getty

• 

  Vladimir Coufal - 7: First big chance of game to his feet just inside box but the Czech full-back sliced first-time shot high and wide. Lovely cross into box to set-up Hammers’ third goal. AP

• 

  Craig Dawson - 5: Has been in superb form but gave Lacazette far too much room that allowed Frenchman time to turn, shoot and make the score 3-1 via a deflection. Vital challenge stopped Saka pulling another goal back on brink of half-time. Blasted home impressive finish in second half, sadly for the Hammers it was into his own net for second game running to make the score 3-2. EPA

• 

  Issa Diop - 7: Solid as a rock in first half then produced brilliant acrobatic goalline clearance to deny Lacazette straight after break. Helped keep Aubameyang very quiet, Lacazette was a different matter. AFP

• 

  Aaron Cresswell - 7: Lovely ball over top of Arsenal defence to find Bowen but teammate failed to capitalise on opportunity and produced his usual steady flow of dangerou balls into box. Fine block to deny Odegaard chance to draw teams level with 20 minutes left. Getty

• 

  Declan Rice - 8: The fulcrum for West Ham in a magnificent first-half performance as he controlled the midfield. Different story in second period though as Odegaard became real attacking danger with Rice - and West Ham - more on the back foot. Magnificent and uncharacteristic charge up field from his own penalty box with five minutes to go that ended with Leno beating away his powerful strike. Reuters

• 

  Tomas Soucek - 6: A couple of tough headed opportunities in opening 15 minutes that he failed to connect cleanly with and missed target with both. Scored fortuitous third after Antonio header deflected off his foot. Will claim it but not convinced he meant it. Was then given a goal he didn’t want when he deflected Lacazette’s shot into the net for an OG. EPA

• 

  Jarrod Bowen - 7: On his toes when Lingard took a quick free-kick and midfielder was able to stroll into box and score with a low strike to make it 2-0. Lovely stepover to leave defender for dead in second half to start one marauding run down the wing. EPA

• 

  Jesse Lingard - 9: Celebrated his England recall with wonderful finish on half-volley into top corner from edge of penalty area to open scoring. Then took quick free-kick to set-up Bowen goal 98 seconds later. The Manchester United loan man is in great form at the moment, scoring goals and setting up opportunities for others. Reuters

• 

  Said Benrahma - 8: Algerian played his part in West Ham’s rampant first-half display, linking-up well with Antonio and Lingard. Lovely change of pace and perfect low cross for Antonio that the striker somehow failed to convert with quarter-of-an-hour to go. AFP

• 

  Michail Antonio - 7: Big striker scored in September’s corresponding fixture at the Emirates Stadium and teed-up Lingard for the opening goal here. Excellent downward header was touched into the net by teammate Soucek. Should have made it 4-2 with 15 minutes to go but somehow hit the post from a couple of metres out. Took frustrations out on Luiz with poor tackle with a few minutes left that earned him a booking. PA

• 

  SUBS: Mark Noble – (On for Bowen 74’) 6: Brought on to try and add some midfield steel with Arsenal hunting in a large pack for the equaliser. Even West Ham’s most experienced pro couldn’t stop that from happening. Ryan Fredericks – (On for Benrahma 80’) N/A. PA

• 

  ARSENAL RATINGS: Bernd Leno - 5: No chance with Lingard’s thunderbolt and Soucek's lucky break but awful mistake to allow Bowen’s weak finish go in at his near post for second. Looking vulnerable between sticks for Gunners at the moment, although showed strong wrists to parry away Rice’s powerful strike late on. AFP

• 

  Calum Chambers – 7: Should have done better closing down Lingard for Hammers’ opening goal and, like rest of Arsenal defence, was a shambles in the first half. But became a real attacking threat down the right after break and one of his crosses into box led to Dawson’s own-goal. Important clearance in second half with Lingard lurking with intent. Getty

• 

  David Luiz - 5: Found Antonio tough customer to deal with as big striker helped set-up opener then comfortably won the aerial dual with Brazilian that resulted in goal No 3 for the home side. Scooped chance over bar after being picked out by Odegaard via free-kick routine straight off the training ground 10 minutes into second half. Getty

• 

  Pablo Mari – 6: Was part of defence that switched off for Bowen goal despite desperate last-ditch challenge to try and block shot. A torrid first half that improved considerably after break. PA

• 

  Kieran Tierney - 5: Switched off completely for quick free-kick that lead to Bowen being allowed freedom of London Stadium to double West Ham’s lead. Gave away possession at start of move that lead to Hammers’ third. Fantastic sliding block to deny Bowen with 25 minutes left. Crossing from left always a threat. Getty

• 

  Thomas Partey - 6: Gunners found themselves overrun in midfield for large part of first half. A couple of speculative strikes over the bar that failed to worry Fabianski. Arsenal still waiting for the £45m Ghanaian to start dominating games in middle of park. AFP

• 

  Granit Xhaka - 6: Could not get a grip of game in first half as Rice showed the Swiss how to pull the strings at the base of midfield. Better after break as Arsenal fought back in magnificent fashion. Reuters

• 

  Bukayo Saka - 6: Had barely figured as West Ham stormed into a deserved 3-0 lead and should have made it 3-2 before the break but hit weak shot straight at Fabianksi with goal at mercy after being put through by Lacazette. Been superb this season but not at his most influential here. Getty

• 

  Martin Odegaard – 8: Had Arsenal’s first shot on goal after 23 minutes but watched his shot loop in the air off a West Ham player and drop gently in Fabianksi’s hands. Quiet for rest of half but came alive after break and one beautiful reverse pass helped set-up second goal. Best player on pitch in second 45 minutes. Getty

• 

  Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - 5: Captain back in favour after being dropped for North London derby win but could only look on bewildered as Gunners capitulated in spectacular at the back in opening 45. Not firing on all cylinders at the minute, which will be a concern for Arsenal, and strike partner Lacazette offered a much bigger threat here. AFP

• 

  Alexandre Lacazette – 9: Great turn and shot that deflected off Soucek for an own-goal, then produced lovely touch to put Saka clean through only for his teammate to fluff chance. Thought he had scored just after half-time but saw his beautiful lob over the keeper cleared off line by Diop, then saw another shot saved by keeper minutes later after another sharp turn. Bullet header to level scores with less than 10 minutes left. EPA

• 

  SUBS: Emile Smith Row – (On for Xhaka 74’) 6: Brought on as Arsenal threw kitchen sink at West Ham in search of equaliser. Getty

• 

  Nicolas Pepe – (On for Bukayo Saka 74’) 7: Provided inch-perfect cross from right to set-up Lacazette for the equaliser and had chance to score soon after but failed to connect properly with shot. AP

Alexandre Lacazette's late header completed a stunning Arsenal comeback as they recovered from a nightmare start to grab an unlikely 3-3 draw away to West Ham United in a rip-roaring Premier League derby on Sunday.

In the end, a point was no more than Arsenal deserved even though they had looked on course for a humiliating drubbing when they conceded three times in the opening 32 minutes.

West Ham, at that point, looked certain to gain the win that would have taken them level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea thanks to goals by Jesse Lingard, Jarrod Bowen and Tomas Soucek.

But Lacazette's shot that deflected in off Soucek in the 38th minute began the Arsenal revival and they swarmed all over the hosts in the second half.

Craig Dawson's own goal just past the hour turned up the heat on the Hammers and in a pulsating finale Michail Antonio wasted a gilt-edged chance to put West Ham 4-2 ahead before Lacazette levelled after a great cross from Substuitute Nicolas Pepe.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said: "I'm very disappointed because I cannot accept my team to play the way we did in periods in the first half. I expect we play at the level we did afterwards."

West Ham manager David Moyes said: "It has been a long time since we finished above Arsenal, we have done our best to make sure they can't catch us. Now we want more, I'm greedy and they are devastated in the dressing room at not taking three points."
