Forwards
Bukayo Saka (RW) – 7/10 – The starboy continues to produce. He’s not hitting last season’s levels in terms of influence, but his productivity cannot be questioned. His hobble off is a concern.
Eddie Nketiah (ST) – 7/10 – Many questioned his inclusion, but Eddie was a bright spark on Saturday. Held the ball up pretty well and won Arsenal’s first penalty after some fine combination play with Zinchenko.
Gabriel Jesus (LW) – 6/10 – Contributed to the first goal, but Jesus was otherwise quiet out wide. Livelier in a central position.
Substitutes
Takehiro Tomiyasu – 6/10
Reiss Nelson – 6/10
Fabio Vieira – 5/10
Emile Smith Rowe – 6/10
Jorginho – 6/10
