3. Declan Rice

Arsenal’s record signing Declan Rice was once again rock solid in the middle of the park.
Fresh back from captaining his country for the first time, Rice was straight back into the action in arguably his biggest game in an Arsenal shirt so far.
The Englishman was successful with 25 of his 28 passes and 100% of his dribbles. Alongside Jorginho, Rice was alert in the middle of the park and was quick on the scene to sweep up any loose balls.
It may not have been the electric affair that some people expected, but Arsenal will be happy with the result and another strong defensive performance.
