Arsenal vs Rapid Vienna Player Ratings: Fans Treated to a Show
Arsenal Ratings – Forwards
Eddie Nketiah (ST) – 8/10 – Made all the right movements in the early stages and that carried on throughout the night. Some lovely interchanges and neat touches on the ball were what we’ve grown to adore with Eddie Nketiah. Fine performance in the lone striker role.
Alexandre Lacazette (ST) – 9/10 – He’s not a No. 10, but after tonight you’d be forgiven for thinking he was. His technical work was excellent, speed of pass set the tone and he brought other players into the game expertly. The level of opposition suited him in this position, but credit where credit is due, he was excellent.
Substitutes
Emile Smith Rowe – 8/10 – Found space really well and his decision making on the ball, as per usual, was quick and well thought-out. It’s only a matter of time before he starts earning Premier League minutes.
Dani Ceballos – 6/10 – Decent enough cameo from Ceballos who pinged balls around the pitch with the freedom to do whatever the heck he wanted.
Willian – 7/10 – Was lively after coming on and came close to grabbing his first goal for the club.
Calum Chambers – 6/10 – Had next to nothing to do since coming on with all the play in the Rapid Vienna half. Who cares, though? His first senior appearance of 2020. Great to see him back.
Folarin Balogun – N/A – Only got a short run out.
