Forwards

Bukayo Saka (RW) – 6.5/10 – Produced another assist before he was forced off in the first half with a hamstring injury.

Gabriel Jesus (ST) – 6.5/10 – His finish was superb to give Arsenal the lead, but he met a brick wall in Kevin Danso and Jesus didn’t have much joy.

Leandro Trossard (LW) – 4/10 – A rusty showing after enduring a brief period on the sidelines. Loose first touch and should’ve scored at the start of the second half.
