Centre-Backs

7.5. Football is a cruel, cruel game. After returning from suspension and looking phenomenally comfortable, Chambers crumbled under a challenge with Tammy Abraham, looking to fold his knee under his weight. In the 23 minutes he did play, he was superb. Assisted Aubameyang’s headed goal, charged into midfield with great intensity and timing, passed the ball very well, and helped the team dominate the midfield.. CB. Arsenal. CALUM CHAMBERS

An excellent performance from David Luiz, against his former team. Most pleasing was his marshalling of the defensive line. Luiz has always been a capable defender but a lacking communicator, organiser and leader. On this occasion, the backline was tremendously in-sync with one another, pushing high up the pitch to compact the space. Luiz was right at the heart of that.. CB. Arsenal. DAVID LUIZ. 8.0
