MLS All-Stars 0-5 Arsenal – Player ratings as Gunners win in style

It was a five-star performance from Arsenal as the MLS All-Stars were swept aside by Mikel Arteta’s team in a 5-0 demolition.

Two first-half goals from Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard sent Arsenal on its way. The second half produced some good moments as Jorginho, Gabriel Martinelli, and Kai Havertz all found themselves on the scoresheet.

It was a brutal display from Arteta’s side, and while it is only preseason, several players flashed.
Trossard, Bukayo Saka, and William Saliba in the first half were superb, while Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice made their first appearance in an Arsenal shirt to a huge reception.

Overall, it was a superb performance as Arsenal got the first leg of its US Tour off to a great start.

Player Ratings

Goalkeeper and defenders

Ramsdale (6.5) – Didn’t really have much to do aside from the odd scary moment. Again good with the ball at his feet. Kept a clean sheet.

White (6.5) – Linked up well with Saka, as we have become accustomed to. Other than that, will be better for the run.

Saliba (7.5)– Tidied up several chances for the MLS-All stars as he looks like himself despite it being preseason. Looking ominous already.

Gabriel (7.0) – Looked assured on the field and produced some good moments defensively.

Kiwior (7.0) – Again playing in the Zinchenko role and looks at home. Neat and tidy in possession as he roamed around doing as he pleased. A few good defensive moments as well.
