Martin Odegaard (CM) - 7/10 - Opened the scoring for his side with a good finish early on. Helped out his side in attack but didn't offer too much as the game went on.

Thomas Partey (CM) - 8.5/10 - Really dominant performance in the midfield from the Ghanaian. Contributed in defence but also split City open with some good passes. Restored the Gunners' lead with a deflected strike from range.

Declan Rice (CM) - 8.5/10 - Did not let up, especially in the first half, as he put plenty of pressure on the City defence. Set up two goals and also contributed to the opener.
