Raheem Sterling (RW) - 5/10 - Sacrificed for Jakub Kiwior after Arsenal went down to ten. Harsh on Sterling, but he'd started the game poorly.

Kai Havertz (ST) - 4.5/10 - I know this is what he does, but I'd have loved it if he spent more time focussing on the ball as opposed to the man when Arsenal lumped it up to him. Pretty ineffective was Havertz, but he did run around.

Leandro Trossard (LW) - 4/10 - Trossard has been excellent in Odegaard's absence, but that terrible back pass killed the Gunners at the Vitality. Forced into an auxiliary left-back position in the second half.

Substitutes

  • Jakub Kiwior - 4/10
  • Gabriel Martinelli - 4.5/10
  • Gabriel Jesus - 5/10
  • Ethan Nwaneri - 6/10

Player of the match: Marcos Senesi (Bournemouth)
