Arsenal, /

Central Midfield

8.5. <strong>Man of the Match.</strong> Very active, very effective. He was popping up everywhere, offensively and defensively, and stamping himself into the center of play. Wherever the ball is, Ceballos was never far. Has a really slick touch, especially in tight situations. He rarely takes action without weighing the success rate, which is why he always looks so positive. He was our best, most incisive attacker for the bulk of the match.. CM. Arsenal. DANI CEBALLOS

5.1. Overshadowed by Ceballos. Didn’t defend as well, didn’t move the ball as well, didn’t attack as well. There’s a reason he was taken off at half, and it’s because he wasn’t providing much. He was like a less effective version of Ceballos. We needed Xhaka.. CM. Arsenal. LUCAS TORREIRA
