Ethan Nwaneri (RW) - 8.5/10 - While the rest of his teammates sauntered through the contest, Nwaneri offered guile and persistent intensity. He carried the Gunners on his back at the King Power, striking the woodwork twice with fierce attempts.

Leandro Trossard (ST) - 6/10 - Limited up top, but delivered a wonderful cross to tee up the sealer late on.

Raheem Sterling (LW) - 3/10 - Started poorly and never improved. Criminal that he lasted almost 70 minutes. One of the worst individual performances have seen from a Gunner this season.
