Arsenal player ratings vs Aston Villa: Partey scores in 3-1 win
Forwards
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (ST) – 7/10 – Wasn’t as involved with the entire Arsenal team combining in the right areas on the night, and when the moment came for him he stepped up (at the second attempt).
Another battling performance where he chased every loose ball and pressed every man in possession. His pass for Smith Rowe was another nail in the ‘Aubameyang can’t link play’ coffin.
Alexandre Lacazette (ST) – 8/10 – Some of his one-touch combination play was out of this world. Given he’s barely featured at all this season it was supremely committed. Worked his socks off in a No. 10 slot before his withdrawal.
Hats off to him. It’s never easy feeling like an outcast.
