Bukayo Saka (RW) – 7/10 – Got Arsenal off to the perfect start with a relatively simple finish in the opening stages. Saka wasn’t particularly dominant otherwise, and he grabbed his fourth booking of the league season.

Eddie Nketiah (ST) – 7/10 – Worked his socks off and was back on the scoresheet with a typical poacher’s effort.

Gabriel Martinelli (LW) – 7.5/10 – It was a battle of the live wires down the left as Martinelli was often left isolated against Tariq Lamptey. The Brighton defender won several battles but it was the Brazilian who won the war as he got in behind his marker to score Arsenal’s fourth.
