Bukayo Saka (RW) - 8/10 - He never quite tore United a new one, but Saka was still a constant threat. He was also the architect of another goal-yielding corner. Saka took a different route than Rice by lofting a high, deep cross to the back post where Partey met it and Saliba became the fortunate beneficiary.

Kai Havertz (ST) - 6/10 - There wasn't enough for Kai Havertz to do in link-up when Arsenal were only able to string passes together in patches. The German should still have scored, but he didn't quite get the touch and finish right after some magical work from Odegaard.

Gabriel Martinelli - 6/10 - This looked like a moment for Gabriel Martinelli to get back into high gear, but the Brazilian's movement was uneven. So was his decision-making, with the final action often misjudged between a cross and a shot. It was no surprise when Arteta hooked Martinelli for Leandro Trossard.
