Forwards

Bukayo Saka (RW) – 7/10 – It was a forward’s day at the Emirates. Saka looked more like his old self, threatening often but somehow not managing a goal contribution. I really enjoyed seeing him pop over to the left at times, something we haven’t seen him do much of recently.

Eddie Nketiah (ST) – 10/10 – His first Premier League hat-trick with two goals of elite quality and a great poacher’s finish. What more could you want from Arsenal’s No.14? Hopefully, it will give him a lot of confidence for upcoming games. His first goal, in particular, was special, almost Berkgamp vs Newcastle-esque.

Gabriel Martinelli (LW) – 8/10 – Martinelli was a menace all afternoon, carrying the ball beautifully. His pace continues to be a massive problem for any defense, and Arsenal doesn’t look the same without him.
