Forwards

Bukayo Saka (RW) – 8/10 – Eventually forced off before the hour, but Bukayo Saka looked like Bukayo Saka again during an immense first-half showing which included a lovely goal – just his second since the March international break.

Gabriel Jesus (ST) – 8/10 – It was a pleasure to watch Gabi go about his work in the north London sun. Kick-started the rout by teeing up Xhaka before he got himself on the scoresheet in the second half with a fine headed finish. A menace all afternoon.

Leandro Trossard (LW) – 7.5/10 – Another bright display from the Belgian which saw him bag two assists. His second for Jesus was an inch-perfect cross after some tidy work down the left.
