Bukayo Saka (RW) - 8.5/10 - Odegaard's return and respite over the international break allowed Saka to thrive here. It was a mismatch down his flank as he constantly got the better of Alex Moreno. The winger should've finished with more than a solitary goal, but his first half finish was stunning.

Gabriel Jesus (ST) - 7/10 - A rare Premier League start for Jesus didn't return a goal, but this was a performance of promise following a tough start to the season. The Brazilian combined well in the box and contributed to a fluid performance in the final third.

Leandro Trossard (LW) - 7/10 - I wouldn't call this a return to his best, but Trossard offered technical security in the final third and looked confident throughout.
