Central Midfield

Arsenal. GRANIT XHAKA. 6.5. Scored a lovely goal, lashing home from a tight angle after making a rare break into the penalty area. Otherwise, a rather quiet game. Was not the liability defensively he is usually. Did not play the raking passes he does usually, either. This isn’t to say he was particularly poor, more perfectly serviceable. And given Arsenal’s normal options in central midfield, that is sometimes exactly what is required.. CM

8.0. MAN OF THE MATCH: Brilliant in the first half. Dictated play superbly, pulling the strings neatly. Played several slicing passes forward, a couple to Bellerin which should have been more clinically dealt with by the Spaniard. Created a good chance for Alexandre Lacazette with a deft cross and largely dominated the midfield area. Did tire in the second half, and Arsenal noticeably lost control of the match as a result..
