Bukayo Saka (RW) - 6/10 - Really didn't get into the game. Curled an effort just wide before half-time, but much of Arsenal's attacking effort was focussed down the left.

Gabriel Jesus (ST) - 5.5/10 - Caught out by Villa's high defensive line on a few occasions and didn't take his half-chances when they fell. Felt like Arsenal missed Havertz's instincts in the box.

Leandro Trossard (LW) - 5.5/10 - Deserved a start after his midweek cameo but wasn't able to influence the game as he did on Tuesday night. Played a lovely pass in behind for Havertz early on, but should've scored just before half-time.

Substitutes

  • Gabriel Martinelli - 5/10
  • Takehiro Tomiyasu - 5/10
  • Emile Smith Rowe - 5/10
  • Jorginho - 5/10
  • Eddie Nketiah - N/A

Player of the match: Youri Tielemans (Aston Villa)
