Bukayo Saka (RW) – 9/10 – Showed lovely composure to slot his effort beyond Gunn in the sixth minute and, as per usual, got kicked to pieces for most of the rest of the game.

Held the right side and gave Brandon Williams plenty to think about, with the addition of some high quality finishing being the standout feature of the match. Excellent once again.

Alexandre Lacazette (ST) – 7/10 – Much less involved than in previous games, it was nevertheless Lacazette’s movement that was key in Arsenal working openings and space.

Didn’t see a great deal of the ball but played his part with the positions he took up and his penalty was a silky as ever.

Gabriel Martinelli (LW) – 7/10 – Did Martinelli even have a Christmas? His energy levels were disrespectfully high. His work rate is on another level.

Ran relentlessly and was unlucky to see a goal chalked off.
