Bukayo Saka (RW) - 8/10 - Once again, not heavily involved but Saka delivered the key moments. He was expertly denied by Martinez in the opening period, but his perseverance and delivery helped Arsenal open the scoring. Saka continued his excellent start to the season by teeing up Partey's strike, too.

Kai Havertz (ST) - 6.5/10 - Typically selfless and was handy when Arsenal needed to see the game out late on. However, Havertz was wasteful at times in transition. Ran around A LOT.

Gabriel Martinelli (LW) - 5/10 - Had his moments in behind, but Martinelli did not deliver the final touch when required. Arsenal need more from the Brazilian.

Substitutes

  • Leandro Trossard - 7.5/10
