# West Ham: Fans shred Arthur Masuaku vs Arsenal

**Many West Ham United fans slammed Arthur Masuaku during their London derby clash with Arsenal on Wednesday night.**

It was a key fixture in the race for the top four, with the Hammers occupying the final Champions League spot at kick-off and Arsenal only two points behind.

David Moyes’ side, who drew 0-0 with Burnley on Sunday, had only won[one of their last five](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/formtabelle/wettbewerb/GB1?saison_id=2021&min=12&max=17) Premier League matches prior to the game.

Moyes made one change from [the team that was held at Turf Moor](https://www.sofascore.com/burnley-west-ham-united/gsM), replacing Said Benrahma with Pablo Fornals.

It was Masuaku’s second league start in succession meanwhile, and his seventh overall this season (via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arthur-masuaku/leistungsdaten/spieler/181380)).

### Masuaku’s difficult night

The left-back lost possession 19 times over the course of the game – the second most of any Hammers player – and wasn’t able to produce an accurate cross (via [SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/arsenal-west-ham-united/MR)).

Damningly, football journalist [Zach Lowy](https://twitter.com/ZachLowy/status/1471220675834785799) described his duel with Arsenal right-winger Bukayo Saka as a ‘bloodbath’, calling for Moyes to give him more protection.
