Arsenal earned a hard-fought 1-0 win against Wolves this afternoon. Here is our players’ rating.

David Raya – 8.0
The second half was one of his busiest as an Arsenal player, but he rose to the occasion with some crucial saves.

Jurrien Timber – 7.0
Timber was solid, keeping the tricky Wolves attackers on his side of the pitch under control and neutralising their threat.

William Saliba – 7.0
Saliba stepped up brilliantly after Arsenal went down to ten men, showing composure and ensuring no Wolves striker got the better of him.

Gabriel Magalhães – 7.0
Enjoying his partnership with Saliba, Gabriel was as dependable as ever and put in another strong performance.

Myles Lewis-Skelly – 5.0
His red card almost cost Arsenal. While the decision may have been harsh, he needs to refine his decision-making when committing tactical fouls.

Thomas Partey – 6.0
Arsenal controlled possession before the red card, but Partey’s performance lacked anything particularly noteworthy, even when Wolves went down to ten men.

Declan Rice – 7.5
A typically reliable showing from Rice. He was eager to push forward and added stability in midfield.

Ethan Nwaneri – 5.5
The youngster started again but was less effective compared to previous outings, struggling to impose himself on the game.

Gabriel Martinelli – 6.5
Made some impressive surging runs, but his final balls lacked the quality to truly trouble Wolves.

Leandro Trossard – 6.0
Trossard had a quiet game by his standards, failing to make a significant impact in attack.

Kai Havertz – 4.5
Another underwhelming performance. Arsenal desperately need a more clinical finisher to replace him in the starting lineup.

Substitutes

Riccardo Calafiori – 7.5
Made the difference with his decisive winner and also performed his defensive duties well.

Kieran Tierney – N/A
Came on too late to have any real impact.

  1. Don’t really see the point of rating the players in this game, as they all gave it their best out there and I’m proud of them all.

  2. Honestly, if they don’t work on creating chances and being fast in transition from defense to attack, then I don’t see them winning any titles

  3. Martinelli looks more effective playing from the left than he is from the right. Apart from that cross that eventually produced the goal, he didn’t influence the game much imo.

  4. Trossard and partey particularly underrated here – trossard was our most dangerous player in the first half. Rice was fantastic as well, motm and probably at least a point higher based on how these ratings normally work imo. All the players responded brilliantly to going a man down. Wolves had some chances, as you’d expect, but we kept going forwards as well.

  5. Rice has been immense in the last two matches and like Davi, I think Trossard has done really well recently.As for the damming comments concerning Havertz,perhaps Martin should be pointing the finger at our Manager for his failure to sign a natural central striker some time ago.I shudder to think where we would be this season without Havertz who is physically drained because he has been overplayed due to the lack of a viable option.He is never injured, scores, assists and gives 100% every game.Time for you to think on a bit Martin before putting the knife in?
