Bukayo Saka (RW) – 9/10 – What’s so wonderful about Saka is that he doesn’t stop: if he misses a pass or loses in duel he gets right back up and goes again.

A goal and an assist from the star boy on the biggest game of the season. Play him out on the right and this is what you get.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (ST) – 8/10 – One of his best matches in an Arsenal shirt. His touches, movement, work rate and clinical touch were all on show in a magnificent outing..

A captain’s display. And a legendary celebration to boot. The game was an entirely different one after the break and Aubameyang barely touched the ball. Still ran his socks off.

Emile Smith Rowe (LW) – 9/10 – Unreal.

Arsenal need their key players to contribute with numbers and blimey, did Smith Rowe do that. He ran relentlessly, showed up at the vital moments and produced the quality that everyone knows he’s capable.

Just wonderful.
