Bukayo Saka (RW) – 7/10 – Once again Arsenal’s biggest threat despite being hampered by an early Alex Moreno challenge. No goalkeeper in the world stops his thunderous first-half strike.

Eddie Nketiah (ST) – 4/10 – Sub-par. Did little to help his side get up the pitch or retain possession in the final third. Can’t fault his work ethic, but he simply wasn’t good enough.

Leandro Trossard (LW) – 5/10 – Suffered the same fate as Martinelli has in recent weeks. 0ften isolated down the left and wasn’t overly influential as a result. Hooked for the Brazilian with just over 20 minutes remaining.

Substitutes

Gabriel Martinelli – 6.5/10

Fabio Vieira – 6/10

Takehiro Tomiyasu – 5/10

Rob Holding – N/A

Kieran Tierney – N/A
