Substitutes

Arsenal. SHKODRAN MUSTAFI. 5.0. In place of Calum Chambers midway through the first half, his passing was poor, as always, but his defensive work was strong. And then it happened: Mustafi forgot how to defend. It started by not immediately closing down Abraham, something that his teammates did very well throughout the match, and then continued as he was turned by Abraham in the penalty area who tucked away the winner. Not good.. SUB

JOE WILLOCK. 6.0. Did not have too much time to do too much. Provided an injection of energy, which was vital when he was introduced, and narrowly missed with a whipped finish from just inside the penalty area.. SUB. Arsenal

There is no rating for Nicolas Pepe.
