Forwards

Bukayo Saka (RW) - 7.5/10 - Arsenal's best player in the match and looked to be the only player still trying to attack following the sending off. Assisted Kai Havertz's opener after shrugging Lewis Dunk off the ball and poking it through for the German. Missed a golden chance to win the game, however when he could not get good contact on a low cross from Havertz.

Kai Havertz (ST) - 7/10 - Opened the scoring for his side with a brilliant lob over Bart Verbruggen in the first half. Dropped back into a more defensive role after Rice's sending off. Played a great low cross for Saka in the second half but the Englishman did not take the chance.

Leandro Trossard (LW) - 6/10 - A different to performance to his one against Aston Villa. Could not really get going against his former side and was poor with his passing and dribbling. Replaced by Riccardo Calafiori just before the hour mark.
