Arsenal put in a great display against Nottingham Forest and while it is acknowledged that they are a Championship side, a 5-0 win is still a very good result.
Arsenal dominated the game from the kick-off and almost every member of the team had a positive game.
Martinez 6
Cannot really rate him any higher because he had almost nothing to do.
Chambers 8
I thought he had a great game, he was a constant threat down both sides made two assists and I am not sure too much more could have been asked from him.
Mustafi 8
This was is second good performance this season, he looks a completely different player to the one we saw for most of last season and I maintain that he was the best defender at the end of the season and he has to be in with a shout of a first-team recall.
Holding 8
What a great return for the 24-year-old, he played as if had never been away and capped a good performance off with a goal, must be in contention to start against Man Utd.
Tierney 8
A brilliant debut, he was electric down the flanks, his energy appeared limitless and you can see already the difference between him and Kolasinac.
Willock 8
I thought the young lad had a great game, he was full of drive and he continues to get better and better, I cannot see how Xhaka can be prefered to him in midfield.
Torreira 6
Was slightly disappointed with Torreira, he just lacked something, he gave very little and basically made the numbers up.
Smith Rowe 6
Have to feel sorry for Smith Rowe, he was not setting the world alight but neither was he having a bad game, he was doing well until he got injured.
Ozil 6
Never did anything wrong but neither did he offer much, he seemed to just flow as if he was on an air cushion, only did what he had to do. He did not look happy and basically did just enough not to annoy anyone.
Nelson 8
Had a good game and bagged a goal, he was very busy, not everything worked but a lot did and he tried his heart out, cannot ask for much more.
Martinelli 9
Two goals, one lucky and one brilliant, he was my man of the match and there was some fierce competition for that award. Definitely a candidate to be the long term replacement for Aubameyang.
Subs
Saka 7
Thought he did just fine when he came on, tried to get involved at every opportunity and always looked dangerous.
Ceballos 6
Did ok in the time he was on the pitch, did nothing sensational but played his part when required.
Bellerin 7
He was only on the pitch for about 15 minutes but what a contribution he made in that time with an assist.
