6.6. Unlucky not to get the go-ahead goal. A finger-tip save denied him. I love his fire and enthusiasm, and I absolutely swooned when he drove <a href=. RW. Arsenal. NICOLAS PEPE

5.9. Tremendous finish for the first goal. Couldn’t have made it look any easier. He was heavily involved throughout the match, though like most everyone else, he wasn’t able to really get into any sort of comfort zone in the attack because there wasn’t a lot of consistent attacking play after the fifteen minute mark. And then at the hour mark he made a horrible challenge that drove <a href=. LW. Arsenal. PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG

ST. Arsenal. ALEXANDRE LACAZETTE. 6.9. Great set-up on the first goal. For once, his lingering possession didn’t come back to bite him, it was perfect. Every time he gets on the ball there’s a degree of anticipation that he could do something really special. Nearly came off when Pepe’s effort ricocheted back to him and he’ll be kicking himself he couldn’t have put that one in the back of the net, but it was a good match overall from him.
