Bukayo Saka (RW) – 8.5/10 – Fatigued? Haha. Saka was the star of the show on Sunday as he netted twice for the Gunners in an emphatic victory.

Leandro Trossard (ST) – 6/10 – Wasn’t as influential as he was at Craven Cottage, but he combined with Xhaka to set up Arsenal’s third.

Gabriel Martinelli (LW) – 7/10 – Provided plenty of thrust before his wonderfully-taken opener. Quietened down in the second half.

Substitutes

Kieran Tierney – 7/10

Gabriel Jesus – 6/10

Jorginho – 5/10

Emile Smith Rowe – 5/10
