7.0. Scored a lovely goal with his ‘squeeze-ball’ finish, shooting into the ground and bouncing it up and over the goalkeeper. But he did not drop deep enough to link play consistently — when he did, Arsenal were able to progress attacks nicely — and could not consistently impact play. Not terrible, and certainly not the worst performance from the team, but definitely not his best.. CAM. Arsenal. MESUT OZIL

ST. Arsenal. ALEXANDRE LACAZETTE. 7.5. MAN OF THE MATCH: I do not really want to give him the Man of the Match award. But there really is no one else to give it to. Made a lovely pass to assist Mesut Ozil’s goal. Worked hard off the ball and help up play with a strong body position and good touch. The best of a bad bunch.

7.0. Terrific goal. Beats two, three, four defenders, gets a bit lucky and then instinctively fires a shot into the far bottom corner. That is what he is capable of. But he is also capable of going missing for large periods. The goals are great, but I want to see more.. ST. Arsenal. PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG
