Bukayo Saka (RW) - 7/10 - Arsenal's only great threat in the first-half and a consistent outlet down the right flank. Constantly fouled without sanction bt stuck to his task. Withdrawn after 79 minutes after suffering a dead leg from another poor Tottenham challenge.

Kai Havertz (ST) - 6.5/10 - Again, looked to be involved in the build-up a lot more as Arsenal went direct and long in the first half. Could have had an assist when he sent Rice through from a headed flick-on but his shot was blocked. Taken off with 15 minutes to go.

Gabriel Martinelli (LW) - 5.5/10 - Struggled to cause too many problems on the left wing. Often played too narrow which made it difficult for Arsenal's midfield to bring him into play. Better in the early stages of the second half before being withdrawn. Replaced by Trossard after 67 minutes.
