Arsenal Player Ratings
David Raya – 6
Today he had almost no chances to save and was unlucky when he conceded a goal as the ball took a slight deflection and went in.
William Saliba – 6
Overall he did a good job defensively but could have done better against Archer in one-on-one situations.
Gabriel – 6
Didn’t face much of a challenge throughout the ทางเข้า ufabet game, used his strength well in the air, especially in the tackles.
Thomas Partey – 6
Was once again deployed as a right-back, trying to get forward to help out in the middle of the field. He had a chance to make a long-range shot that was saved. Overall, he still doesn’t look very natural in his position.
Ricardo Calafiori – 7
Tried to get up high to help out on the left flank which caused problems for Southampton’s defence, but was often overwhelmed by Dibling’s pace which almost cost the team a goal.
Jorginho – 6
Got a chance to start in this game, controlling the rhythm of the game in the middle of the field. Had a chance to shoot from a distance but the ball went wide of the post. But should have done better in the counter-attack situation.
Declan Rice – 6
Today, his role was mainly to help pass the ball to the midfield, not to push forward as high as usual. At times, he had to drop back to a low position to help with defense when the team had to defend against a counter-attack.
Raheem Sterling – 6
Started as a left winger and had a chance to shoot but his shot was blocked in the first half but he lost the ball in midfield which led to a counter-attack and cost the team a goal.
Bukayo Saka – 9
Still a key player in the team’s attack today, he scored 1 goal and made 2 assists from a pass to Harwitz who crossed for Martinelli who took the opportunity to finish the game off for the team late on.
Gabriel Jesus – 5
Got a chance to start but today’s performance is disappointing. He often makes poor decisions at the last moment. He doesn’t pass when he should pass, and doesn’t dribble when he shouldn’t. Overall, he was unable to put much pressure on the away team’s defense.
Kai Havertz – 8
Played with confidence as he dove past defenders and fired a shot past the post, and has scored in every home game for the team this season.
Substitute
Gabriel Martinelli (replaced Jesus 60′) – 7
Has been in good form lately, with a sharp finish to help the team take the lead.
Leandro Trossard (replaced Sterling in the 60th minute) – 6
Was sent on to make changes but didn’t have much of a role up front. He was involved in the final third when he dribbled forward but the ball was intercepted before it went to Saka who had a shot.
Miguel Merino (replaced Jorginho 60′) – 6
Made his Premier League debut for the team, tried to play higher up the pitch, had good possession in midfield.
Takehiro Tomiyasu (replaced Partey 84′) – n/a
Jakub Kiwior (replaced Calafiori in the 90th minute) – n/a
