Arsenal Substitutes Ratings

Willian – 5/10 – Lovely flick on to Cedric in the build-up to the third goal, while not providing much in the way of impact apart from that. Barely touched the ball.

Mohamed Elneny – 5/10 – Came on for Thomas Partey who was suffering from cramp, and did his job of being protective in front of the back four. Sort of.

While it’s not just the two substitutes who came on, the drop vast drop in quality is remarkable when the second string arrive.

Joe Willock – N/A – Not on long enough to be given a rating.
