Unanswered goals from Olivier Giroud, Aaron Ramsey and Mathieu Flamini secured Arsenal a 3-0 victory from their home clash with West Ham United this afternoon.

French striker Giroud found the net just moments before the break, while midfielders Ramsey and Flamini made sure of the outcome in the closing stages of the contest.

Here, Sports Mole rates the performances of all of the players on show at the Emirates Stadium.

Goal

David Ospina: The Colombian made a couple of routine stops during what was a straightforward afternoon for him. (6/10)

Defence

Nacho Monreal: He did not rampage forward as much as he did against Manchester United in the FA Cup, but it was still a steady enough outing from the left-back. (6/10)

Per Mertesacker: There were a couple of occasions when the German made the wrong decision, but he was bailed out by a defensive colleague. (5/10)

Laurent Koscielny: It was a really assured display from Koscielny, who made a handful of classy challenges and blocks. He also rarely wasted possession. (8/10)

Calum Chambers: Playing at right-back, the youngster looked short of match fitness, particularly during the first half whenhe was caught out of position on more than one occasion. (5/10)

Midfield

Francis Coquelin: The young Frenchman continues to grow in the heart of the Arsenal midfield. He summed up his good display with a great challenge on Collins late in the game. (7/10)

Aaron Ramsey: Having been injured for much of this season, Ramsey looked close to the form that he showed last term. His movement and passing was good, while he also got his name on the scoresheet. (7/10)

Mesut Ozil: Still some way short of the form that he showed earlier in his Arsenal career, but at least the German was involved in some neat interchanges. (6/10)

Theo Walcott: The winger showed some good movement and caused some problems with his pace, but he wasted three really good openings to get his name on the scoresheet. (6/10)

Alexis Sanchez: It was another quiet outing from the Chilean, who has scored just one goal in his last 10 outings. He looked a little tired when replaced by Welbeck. (5/10)

Attack

Olivier Giroud: His importance to Arsenal continues to grow. Not only did the French striker hold the ball up well, he got himself a good goal and assisted the second. (8/10)

Substitutes

Danny Welbeck: Provided some pace and a direct approach down the left flank. With a little bit more composure and better decision making, he may have got himself a goal. (6/10)

Santi Cazorla: The Spaniard really is Arsenal's magician at the moment. He was not on for long, but he showed great footwork and movement to assist his side's third goal. (7/10)

Mathieu Flamini: Scored with what was his first touch and then kept things simple with some neat passing. (6/10)

Goal

Adrian: Particularly during the first half, Adrian was the game's standout performer. He made a string of impressive saves and he could do nothing about any of the goals. (7/10)

Defence

Joey O'Brien: The biggest compliment that can be paid to O'Brien is that he kept Sanchez relatively quiet before the Chilean was substituted. (7/10)

Cheikhou Kouyate: The midfielder was once again required to fill in at centre-back and did not let anyone down. (6/10)

James Collins: He was perhaps lucky to not concede a penalty early on, but, that moment aside, he was solid enough. (6/10)

Aaron Cresswell: Up against a side that is reportedly tracking his progress closely, Cresswell struggled to replicate his recent form. (5/10)

Midfield

Alex Song: There has been plenty of criticism of Song's performances since Christmas, but, up against his old club, he was much better. He won plenty of tackles and always looked to pass forward. (7/10)

Mark Noble: He put in a decent shift and made some good tackles, but was not really involved in an attacking sense. (5/10)

Kevin Nolan: Shook off an early injury to almost score the opening goal of the game, but faded quickly after that. (5/10)

Stewart Downing: The England international has arguably been West Ham's best player this season, but this was an afternoon to forget. His first touch let him down a couple of times and his crossing was poor for the most part. (5/10)

Matt Jarvis: To the winger's credit, he got to the byline on numerous occasions and produced some dangerous crosses, but too often his team did not commit enough men forward and so his work went unrewarded. (6/10)

Attack

Diafra Sakho: Playing as a lone striker, Sakho worked extremely hard, but a lack of support meant that he posed little threat. (6/10)

Substitutes

Morgan Amalfitano: Back from suspension, the French winger struggled to make much of an impact on proceedings. (5/10)

Nene: The Brazilian came on just moments after Arsenal's second goal, which killed the game. As a result, his chances of making an impression were limited. (5/10)
