Arsenal 3-1 Orlando City – Player Ratings as Gunners cruise in friendly

Substitutes

Turner (GK) 5/10 – He could have had a newspaper out in the second half as Arsenal dominated the game. Just about had nothing to do.

Bellerin (LB) – Came on late for some minutes and did not affect the game.

White (RB) 7/10– In a twist, he was deployed as a right-back and was solid. He got forward well and worked well defensively with Saliba.

Gabriel (CB) 7/10 – Like White, Gabriel was faultless in the second half. He was commanding and played progressive passes to keep the team’s momentum going—another good showing.

Saliba (7/10) – Another decent outing from our Frenchman. He was cool, calm, and composed on the ball and dealt very well in 1v1 situations.

Partey (CM) 8/10 – A game changer in the middle of the park. He bossed it as he always does, kept it simple with his passing, and kept the team driving forward during their period of dominance.

Xhaka (CM) 7/10 – Like Partey, kept it simple and kept the team moving forward. He took up good spaces in the final third and was another solid contributor.

Odegaard (CAM) 9/10 – Absolute difference maker. Picked up great positions in the final third and threaded passes for Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka at will. Complete mastery in the second half.

Nelson (LW) 7/10 – Came on late in the half and was largely anonymous until his well-taken strike put the team two goals up.

Saka (RW) 8/10 – A constant threat down his flank and often drew double teams to cope with his skill and pace. Could see the rustiness of preseason, but will be better for the run.

Jesus (ST) 9/10 – Like Odegaard, completely changed the complexion of the game. His pressing, skill, and everything in between dazzled Orlando as they could not contain him. Another superb performance.

Balogun – NA

Walters – NA

Marquinhos – NA
