6.5. Really interesting game from Willian. He started out as our most creative player, almost as a free-roaming inverted No. 10. He dropped into the midfield constantly, picking up the ball and looking for his teammates. Wasted a couple of good chances by taking risks, and didn’t contribute enough defensively, but a solid performance from the Brazilian. Rightfully subbed, looked leggy.. RW. . WILLIAN

CF. . ALEXANDRE LACAZETTE. 7.0. If the game had ended at half, he would have gotten MOTM. Great finish with the header, but he was so key to our possession scheme in the first half, especially with his back to goal. Literally everywhere in the first 45. Unfortunately, he was totally anonymous in the second, and was hauled off for Nketiah, looking tired.

LW. . PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG. 7.1. Very active game for Auba. Instead of finishing the chances, he turned creator today, setting up Lacazette with a delicious cross. His dribbling and passing were both pretty stellar, and his defensive contributions were adequate. Quiet second half, but didn’t tire as much as his two compatriots. Looked lost at right-wing when he switched with Willian, far more comfortable off the left.
