Arsenal Player Ratings
David Raya – 5
Made at least two clear mistakes in his distribution today and was also instrumental in the second goal when he tackled Evanelson, giving away a penalty and eventually conceding.
William Saliba – 5
The game changed hands when he made a split-second decision to make a professional foul on Evanelson in the 30th minute. The referee consulted VAR and showed him a straight red card and sent him off the field.
Gabriel – 6
Tried to get up front when he was behind, but his signature signature didn’t work today. Overall the defense was faultless and wasn’t tested too much.
Ben White – 6
The team had few players and had little chance to attack the attack, and also had some problems dealing with Antoine Semenyo’s pace in the first half.
Ricardo Calafiori – 6
Tried to move up and help out on the left flank. But today his finishing touches were lacking, whether he passed or tried to shoot. In the second half, Semenyo moved to pressure on the left flank, which meant he didn’t have many opportunities to move up.
Thomas Partey – 6
He was the one who set up the counter-attack from the edge of the goal but was not good enough in the transition from defence to attack today, creating few chances for the team from the middle of the field.
Declan Rice – 6
Had a tough job today running around the pitch chasing the ball and driving forward to help with attacking play, but overall couldn’t do much given the team’s small number of players.
Miguel Merino – 6
Used his individual skills to keep the ball in midfield but was less involved in the attacking game today as he helped the ทางเข้า ufabet https://ufabet999.app team build up play from deep inside the area.
Leandro Trossard – 5
The man behind Saliba’s red card was the pass from a poor pass to Evanelson, and his performance on the wing was clearly lacking today compared to previous matches where he was used to play in the middle of the pitch.
Raheem Sterling – 5
He barely got to show much, as he was unlucky enough to be substituted after being reduced to 10 men in the 37th minute.
Kai Havertz – 6
Tried his best to keep the ball and drive forward, but had to get past a number of defenders. His rhythm with the ball was a bit off today, and he often fouled opponents, which led to a lack of continuity.
Substitute
Jakub Kiwior (replaced Sterling in the 37th minute) – 5
Came on to pack up the defense but made a mistake and passed the ball back too short, which led to the ball being cut off and the team giving away a penalty.
Gabriel Martinelli (replaced Trossard in the 64th minute) – 6
Came on as a winger and had a golden opportunity to shoot from close range but unfortunately his shot went straight at Kepa.
Gabriel Jesus (on for Merino 81′) – 6
Tried to use his individual skills on the ball but struggled to break through the home defence.
Ethan Vaneri (replaced Kiwior in the 81st minute) – 6
Came on to provide some attacking options but was not able to do much.
