Bukayo Saka (RW) – 8.5/10 – Aaron Cresswell never stood a chance against this menace one-vs o-one. His threat was ominous from the outset and it was the England international who drew the Gunners level with a cool finish. Saka was at the heart of everything on Boxing Day.

Eddie Nketiah (ST) – 7.5/10 – Bright sparks from Gabriel Jesus’ deputy and I’m sure supporters left the Emirates feeling a little better about their prospects in the Brazilian’s absence. Nketiah’s goal was superbly taken and it put the contest beyond West Ham.

Gabriel Martinelli (LW) – 6.5/10 – A relatively quiet Martinelli display burst into life when he caught Fabianski out at his near post to give Arsenal the lead. Vladimir Coufal had handled him pretty well up to that point.
