It was a brilliant win for the Gunners, although VAR made it into a very strange affair. But now we are back in the driving seat for Top Four. Let’s hope we continue with this spirit and confidence…
Ramsdale 6
Competent but still not back to his best. Couldn’t stop Ronaldo’s rocket.
Cedric 5
He has filled in adequately but I’ll be glad to see Tomiyasu back for the rest of the campaign
White 6
Held his own in a chaotic defensive display
Gabriel 6
Could have watched Ronaldo better, but otherwise a solid game
Tavares 6
First ever goal and involved in everything. Not always in a good way!
Xhaka 8
He has certainly won the fans back with an imperious performance.
Elneny 7
One of his best games for Arsenal. Perhaps he has earned a new contract?
Saka 9
Involved in most of our attacks and very hard to handle. Yet another smoothly taken penalty.
Odegaard 8
Looking and acting like a real captain. Improving all the time.
Smith-Rowe 5
Not at his best and hardly got a look-in. Doesn’t look fit enough to play even half a game.
Nketiah 6
Was obviously offside when his goal was disallowed but otherwise kept the United defence busy.
Subs
Holding N/A
Hardly involved
Martinelli 4
Only 7 touches in half and hour. Not in the game really
Tomiyasu N/A
Please come back soon…
WATCH Mikel Arteta on Granit Xhaka, a phenomenal game, and Tottenham…
