Arsenal Substitutes Ratings

Kieran Tierney – 7/10 – So good to have him back. Cedric played well on Thursday but the small details of feeding Smith Rowe down the line with the outside facing foot makes such a difference.

Nicolas Pepe – 6/10 – Very lively after coming on, direct at every opportunity and made some very aggressive runs. Good work with Tierney on the left but squandered a good chance when played in by the Scot.

Gabriel Martinelli – 5/10 – Barely touched the ball after coming on at centre-forward, so a rating feels mostly unfair. Thus, straight down the middle.

Willian – N/A – Too late for a rating.

Mohamed Elneny – N/A – Too late for a rating.
