Arsenal vs Huddersfield player ratings: Happy Opposite Day!

7.4. A primary threat throughout the match. Loose with the ball an gave possession away more than I’d like, but at the end of the day, I’d rather that than him doing nothing. His goal was well taken, even if it took a bit of luck. That said, no matter how well he plays, there is always that drawback, and his drawback was seen in the second half when, all of a sudden, the nerves kicked in. He couldn’t have looked more comfortable in the first half, but in the second, numerous times I was left scratching my head, wondering what he was thinking. Good but not great. Could have had another two goals and two assists if he knew how to take his chances better.. RW. Arsenal. ALEX IWOBI

7.7. The big difference he brings to the attack – he doesn’t quit. That’s what inspired the second goal, his refusal to quit. He played so well throughout the match, keeping up the energy, leading and participating in every single counter attack. He lacked a little sharpness with the final product, but he’s been out for awhile. This is the match we needed to see from him, a match that showed that maybe he can be a solution to a big time problem.. LW. Arsenal. HENRIKH MKHITARYAN
