Forwards

Bukayo Saka (RW) (MOTM) – 8.5/10 – One of the savviest players in the Premier League. Intentional or otherwise, his goal left fans speechless.

Alexandre Lacazette (ST) – 7.5/10 – Although the young attackers stole the show, Lacazette took his penalty well and had some really lovely touches.

Gabriel Martinelli (LW) – 7.5/10 – The Brazilian’s movement and desire is infectious. Like Smith Rowe, his name should be one of the first on the team sheet in the short-term.
