Forwards
Bukayo Saka (RW) - 7/10 - Missed an early header but quickly atoned by rebounding home the opener. This was another contest where Saka produced without starring.
Kai Havertz (ST) - 7/10 - Didn't quite put it together in the final third, but was certainly useful. Worked tirelessly and drew the two fouls which saw Konate dismissed.
Gabriel Martinelli (LW) - 8/10 - Martinelli's brightest display for a while. The Brazilian was relentless throughout, even if he wasn't heavily involved. A key outlet for the Gunners, with his reward arriving via a gift from VVD and Alisson. Why was he taken off?!
