Forwards

Bukayo Saka (RW) – 7.5/10 – Arsenal’s brightest spark in the first 45 minutes and was kicked up in the air after giving the visitors the lead. Football’s back, folks.

Eddie Nketiah (ST) – 4/10 – Was just one of two players to play more than an hour, but Nketiah struggled in Germany.

Reiss Nelson (LW) – 5/10 – There were bright moments but little of note during his 45-minute cameo.
