Sports Mole rates the best and worst players in the Premier League match between Hull City and Arsenal at the KC Stadium.

Arsenal extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 10 games by beating Hull City 3-0 this evening.

The Gunners took the lead when Alexis Sanchez's free kick deflected into the net, before Aaron Ramsey added a second goal five minutes later.

Sanchez scored a third goal on the stroke of half time, before Stephen Quinn headed in a consolation for the Tigers after the break.

Here, Sports Mole rates the best and worst performances from the KC Stadium.


HULL:

Goal

Steve Harper: Was unable to do anything about the first two goals, which both took huge deflections. He did make some important saves after the break to keep the score respectable. (6/10)

Defence

James Chester: Had a tough night dealing with the pace of Sanchez and was caught out of position on numerous occasions. (5/10)

Paul McShane: Another Hull defender who struggled against the Arsenal attack, but he did make a couple of vital blocks in the second half. (6/10)

Michael Dawson: Not the greatest of games from the former Tottenham captain. He was unfortunate to deflect Sanchez's free kick into his own net and struggled to cope with the Chilean all evening. (6/10)

Midfield

Ahmed Elmohamady: Set up Quinn's goal with a great cross from the right and he delivered another teasing ball minutes later for McShane. However, he was caught out down the right, which is where Arsenal produced most of their best work. (6/10)

Stephen Quinn: Found the back of the net with a fine header into the corner, but offered little else to his team throughout the match. (6/10)

Tom Huddlestone: Poor display from the midfielder. He gave the ball away cheaply to Sanchez in the build-up to the first goal and was wasteful in possession. (5/10)

Jake Livermore: Gave away the free kick that led to Sanchez's free kick and was fortunate to not pick up a second booking. Replaced at half time by Meyler. (5/10)

Robbie Brady: Saw his attempt at blocking Ramsey's strike deflect into his own net. He was given a tough time by the Welshman throughout and failed to protect his defence down his flank. (6/10)

Attack

Dame N'Doye: Barely made any impact. He had one shot all evening, which was from long range and never came close to troubling the keeper. (5/10)

Sone Aluku: Like his strike partner N'Doye, he failed to test Ospina and he caused very few problems for the Arsenal defenders. (5/10)

Substitutes

Nikica Jelavic: Made little impact on his return from injury, but Hull fans will be glad to see him back on the pitch. (6/10)

David Meyler: Made a decent impact after coming on half time and was never afraid to put in a tackle. (6/10)

Andrew Robertson: Replaced Aluko and slotted well into the defence. (6/10)


ARSENAL:

Goal

David Ospina: Had very little to do all evening and couldn't have done much to prevent the goal. He was strong in the air when needed and commanded his area well. (6/10)

Defence

Hector Bellerin: Got forward down the right at every chance he got and was involved in a number of Arsenal's best moves. (7/10)

Laurent Koscielny: Was not caused too many problems by the Hull attack. He did his job well and looked solid throughout. (7/10)

Per Mertesacker: Strong display at the back from the German, who showed great composure and defended firmly all evening. (7/10)

Nacho Monreal: Defended well against Elmohamady and was rarely beaten down his side of the pitch. (7/10)

Midfield

Francis Coquelin: Once again, the Frenchman was a rock in the centre of the pitch for the Gunners. He mopped up everything that came his way and never shied away from making a challenge. (7/10)

Aaron Ramsey: Superb performance from the Welshman. He took his goal well, albeit with the aid of a deflection, and played a wonderful through-ball for Sanchez to score the third goal of the evening. (8/10)

Santi Cazorla: The Spaniard was at the top of his game and he impressed once again in a deeper midfield role. His stunning pass picked out Ramsey to score the second goal and his use of the ball was brilliant all evening. (9/10)

Attack

Mesut Ozil: The German was always reliable in possession for the Gunners and he was involved in many of their best attacking moves. He also produced a moment of magic, with a stunning flick into Sanchez that almost set the Chilean up for a fourth goal. (7/10)

Alexis Sancez: Wonderful display from the Chilean, who has had an incredible debut season at Arsenal. Got his team on their way with a deflected free kick, before he showed great composure to score their third goal on the stroke of half time. (9/10)

Olivier Giroud: Relatively quiet night for the Frenchman, who led the line well but only managed to have a couple of shots on goal throughout the match. (6/10)

Substitutes

Theo Walcott: Replaced Giroud in the final minutes and came close to scoring with a low effort that he fired wide of the post. (6/10)

Jack Wilshere: Came on midway through the second half and made a great impact. His direct running caused all manner of problems for the visitors and he looked full of energy and pace. (7/10)
