Forwards

Bukayo Saka (RW) – 8/10 – Was direct in his play and the usual energetic live-wire we’ve come to expect. Got a knock in the second half which forced him to come off earlier than Arsenal would have liked.

Alexandre Lacazette (ST) – 4/10 – Not a good evening for the Frenchman. His touches were so poor and it looked like another one of those ‘trying too hard’ performances. Missed a glaring chance to open the scoring, but unlucky to have a goal chalked off. Night to forget.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (LW) – 5/10 – It’s not his fault though, is it? He does a job for the team, even on his unfavoured right side. He’s not the player to do neat one-twos on the touchline, despite his technical ability, and the calls for him to play centrally will only heat up after Lacazette’s showing.

Shkodran Mustafi – 5/10 – Having been out for so long, Mustafi did alright on his return to the side.

Nicolas Pepe – 3/10 – Genuinely forgot he even came on. Had no impact, whatsoever.

Eddie Nketiah – N/A – Not enough time to impose himself after coming on.
