Forwards

Bukayo Saka (RW) – 5.5/10 – Saka grew into the game in the second half and saw plenty of the ball, but he wasn’t particularly efficient in the final third.

Gabriel Jesus (ST) – 8/10 – Returned to the scoresheet as he pounced on the loose ball in the box to extend Arsenal’s lead in the first half. The Brazilian was a nuisance all evening and often got the better of his stellar compatriot, Thiago Silva.

Leandro Trossard (LW) – 6/10 – Characteristically bright, but wasn’t overly influential from open play before his withdrawal. Took a couple of dangerous corners, though.

Substitutes

Gabriel Martinelli – 5/10

Kieran Tierney – 5/10 

Reiss Nelson – 5/10

Rob Holding – N/A

Thomas Partey – N/A
