Substitutes

SUB. Arsenal. STEPHAN LICHTSTEINER. 6.5. Very solid display by Lichtsteiner. Playing as the right-sided centre-half, he was rarely beaten, bar Rashford skipping past him almost the second he came on, and was a calming influence, in and out of possession. His flexibility is becoming invaluable also.

HENRIKH MKHITARYAN. 7.0. Definitely seen him play worse, that is for sure. Created the second goal with a lovely combination with Lacazette, cleverly returning the pass quickly to confuse the United defence. He did give the ball away a litle too much again, but at least he was providing a creative presence at the same time.. SUB. Arsenal

SUB. Arsenal. ALEXANDRE LACAZETTE. 6.5. Kind of scored the second goal (did he? I’m still not sure) and put his body in the way of the United defenders. It is no surprise that Aubameyang looked more dangerous with Lacazette alongside him to provide that necessary foil.
