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 Premier League matches prior to the game.

Moyes made one change from the team that was held at Turf Moor, replacing Said Benrahma with Pablo Fornals.

It was Masuaku's second league start in succession meanwhile, and his seventh overall this season (via Transfermarkt).

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).

Damningly, football journalist Zach Lowy described his duel with Arsenal right-winger Bukayo Saka as a 'bloodbath', calling for Moyes to give him more protection.
