Arsenal vs Brighton player ratings: You deserve the boos

6.4. Threatened throughout. Nearly opened the scoring very early when he hit the post and almost grabbed another with a rocket shot towards the end of the half. His enthusiasm in the attack is what makes him unique, he follows his shot and collects the rebound. Very pleasantly surprised by his contributions on the day. Did give away the ball that lead to the penalty in the opposite direction, but it was so far forward that I can’t blame him for it.. RM. Arsenal. HENRIKH MKHITARYAN

Looked surprisingly strong on the ball, boxing Brighton players out and keeping hold without going to ground. Disappeared a bit in the second half when the match got tough, but did hold his own, tied with Xhaka for most chances created on the team and was making himself available to handle the ball. Positive showing, even if it amounted to nothing.. LM. Arsenal. MESUT OZIL. 6.2
