Bukayo Saka (RW) - 6/10 - Looked desperate for a goal as he attempted a number of shots throughout. Went close to doubling advantage in second half but his effort went just past the post. Didn't always come out on top down the right side and was replaced in the closing stages.

Leandro Trossard (ST) - 6.5/10 - Saw a header kept out by Kepa with a good save on the line. Failed to have a noticeable impact and wasn't at the same standard as previous weeks.

Gabriel Martinelli (LW) - 6.5/10 - Caused Araujo plenty of problems in the early stages and played a teasing cross into the box for Trossard to head towards goal. His influence faded as the game went on and he was taken off with a few minutes to play.
