Here are the ratings for last night’s game against Newcastle…
Bernd Leno – 6
Another easy game for the big German.
Cédric Soares – 7
I think the Arsenal fans are growing to like his style. Good game and good attacking moves too..
Rob Holding – 7
The master defender at the moment. Deserves the praise he is getting.
David Luiz – 6
Everyone looks good playing beside Holding!
Kieran Tierney – 6
Good game down the wing. Maybe not as commending as usual.
Thomas Partey – 7
Great to have him back, and a well-earned assist. We will improve if he plays regularly.
Granit Xhaka – 7
Another great game for the big Swiss. Could be the perfect partner for Tommy.
Bukayo Saka – 8
The energizer bunny cannot be stopped at the moment. Full of energy and zest.
Emile Smith Rowe – 8
Brilliant assist. He will be very hard for Arteta to drop.
Alexandre Lacazette – 7
Didn’t score but worked as hard as usual.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – 8.5
The Pink Panther is back! I want to see him score every game from now on. My Captain!
