4) Winston Reid
We mentioned earlier how impressive West Ham‘s defence was against Arsenal, and largely it was down to this guy.
Reid was close to leaving The Hammers over the summer on a free transfer, but instead he decided to sign a long-term contract at Upton Park and remain at the club.
The New Zealand star put in a superb performance at the Emirates Stadium, and kept Olivier Giroud quiet all game.
His demanding nature made it tough for Arsenal to break them down and he was crucial to the clean-sheet and the three points.
