Bukayo Saka (RW) – 6/10 – Just when you think he’s having a quiet game he assumes possession, nutmegs someone, beats another man and then sets up a chance. That’s special ability.

It was still one of his quieter nights, but Arsenal’s better moments came when he combined with Odegaard down that right side.

Alexandre Lacazette (ST) – 5/10 – Wasteful when the opportunity arose. There was one moment in the first half when he should have connected with a Cedric cross, and then after the break he squandered threatening moments in the box.

The worst, however, was the glorious opportunity just after going down to ten men.

Gabriel Martinelli (LW) – 4/10 – As ever he had all the energy in the world down the left, often picking up possession when the ball was turned over and having a run at goal from 80 metres away. Didn’t get into as many goalscoring opportunities as he would have wanted but busted a gut all over the pitch.

And then he blew it all with ten seconds of lunacy. First he obstructed a throw-in and then tackled someone from behind, getting two yellow cards in the same incident. A ridiculous thing to do.
