Goalkeeper and Defence

GK – Djordje Petrovic – 5/10 – made a number of good saves but letting in Leandro Trossard’s opener at the near post was inexcusable.

RB – Alfie Gilchrist – 4/10 – the defender made his full debut after replacing the injured Malo Gusto but he couldn’t deal with Trossard, Declan Rice and Takehiro Tomiyasu, who all targeted him.

CB – Axel Disasi – 3/10 – found life difficult against Arsenal’s attack and also missed a chance to score from a corner at the other end.

CB – Benoit Badiashile – 3/10 – a surprise starter considering his poor recent form. Kept giving the ball away which clearly indicates his confidence is shot.

LB – Marc Cucurella – 4/10 – Bukayo Saka had the beating of him and he was at fault for two of Arsenal’s goals.
