Jorginho (DM) - 7.5/10 - Nobody should have to watch this man defend the counter-attack, and Bolton took advantage of Arsenal leaving Jorginho as the last man for their only goal. However, I have few complaints over the Italian's display with the ball.

Declan Rice (CM) - 8/10 - A solid hour for Dec, who opened the scoring and played a key role in Nwaneri's second by winning the ball back high up the pitch. This outing should do him good.

Ethan Nwaneri (CM) - 8.5/10 - Electric. There was plenty of buzz surrounding the 17-year-old pre-match, and the midfielder did not disappoint those in attendance. Nwaneri's such an easy mover, and he continues to look at ease among the seniors. His two strikes merely topped off a lovely performance.
