Forwards

Bukayo Saka (RW) – 7.5/10 – Troubled the talented Destiny Udogie early on, and was dominant down the right in the first half. Quietened down somewhat after the break, but did score from 12 yards.

Eddie Nketiah (ST) – 4/10 – Struggled to get into the game and was perhaps fortunate to stay on the pitch for his challenge on Guglielmo Vicario in the second half.

Gabriel Jesus (LW) – 6/10 – Like Odegaard, Jesus was excellent without the ball, but Arsenal’s emphasis on isolating Saka meant he didn’t get too much of the ball in the final third. Missed a couple of chances.

Substitutes

Jorginho – 3/10
