Arsenal Vs BATE Borisov: Player ratings – Battered Borisov

Was exposed defensively on a few occasions, with his lack of pace and athleticism a problem. But was tidy, if not spectacular, in possession and helped move the play forward with some nice passes at times. His influence has been noticeable in his absence over the past week or so.. CM. Arsenal. GRANIT XHAKA. 5.5

5.0. Not great. He did play a few truly beautiful passes inside the full-back, into the onrushing path of the two wing-backs. But he was also very loose with his passing at times and a little off in his defending against the counter-attack. He was exposed on two separate occasions in the first half. BATE nearly converted both attacks. Not his best, but when young, these poor performances are inevitable.. CM. Arsenal. MATTEO GUENDOUZI
