Bukayo Saka (RW) – 8.5/10 – The space Shaw afforded him when one-on-one was a sign of respect, but Saka eventually made the Red Devils pay when he thundered home a strike from distance after cutting inside. United were petrified of the winger, with Ten Hag throwing on Fred in a bid to slow the winger down.

Eddie Nketiah (ST) – 8.5/10 – You can’t ask for more from Eddie. He’s performing his role superbly, and he both of his goals like a vintage poacher at the back post. Match-winner.

Gabriel Martinelli (LW) – 4.5/10 – The Brazilian was wasteful in the opening stages as Arsenal pressed, and Martinelli’s performance failed to improve before his late substitution. He didn’t get anything out of Wan-Bissaka.

Substitutes

Takehiro Tomiyasu – 4.5/10

Leandro Trossard – 5/10

Rob Holding – N/A
