Wide Attackers

5.0. Quiet game for Aubameyang. He, like the rest of the team, improved in the second half, but Lacazette has looked like the far superior striker at this point in the season. I’m still not especially concerned for the future. He’s an excellent goalscorer. But this wasn’t a good outing. Deservedly substituted for Mkhitaryan midway through the second half.. AML. Arsenal. PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG

6.5. He did score the second goal with a nice, calm finish, but he was largely anonymous for much of the game. He also made a few uncharacteristically poor decisions, as well as simple, loose passes and touches that should not be committed by a player of his quality and experience. Still, the goal was nice and will hopefully give him confidence moving forwards.. AMR. Arsenal. MESUT OZIL
