Forwards

Saka (RW) 6/10– A somewhat quieter day for our star boy. Looked lively early on and got forward well in the second half but did not trouble Ward all that often.

Jesus (ST) 9/10– Man of the Match. The Brazilian was unplayable at the Emirates. Two well-taken goals and was a constant menace. A home debut to remember.

Martinelli (LW) 8/10 – Two goals in two games, and the Brazilian was on another level today. His pressure and energy to constantly harass the Leicester backline was a thing of beauty. A sensational performance.
