Bernd Leno – 5
Not the German’s best performance but didn’t cause any major problems. Couldn’t do much about the goal
Ainsley Maitland-Niles – 5
AMN was not given much chance to get forward and did his job in defence. Underwhelming.
Shkodran Mustafi – 6
It must have been difficult for him after baring his soul. Didn’t make too many mistakes until he gave the ball away in the final minute
David Luiz – 6
Not the leader Arteta is hoping he will be. Never really made any great impact and could have defended better at times
Bukayo Saka – 7
He may be a left-back at the moment but he still acts like a winger. It is great to see his energy on the field. Him and Martinelli have a great future, I’m sure
Lucas Torreira – 6
Reasonable today but certainly not as impressive as he has been.
Granit Xhaka – 5
He’s trying, but it wasn’t easy today against an organized Sheffield
Nicolas Pepe – 6
Pepe is still trying harder and his run for the ungiven penalty was exceptional, but still needs more accuracy in his passing
Mesut Ozil – 5
Ozil was not so influential as he has been recently. I hope he steps up against Chelsea
Gabriel Martinelli – 7
He always looks lively and he was definitely our biggest goal threat. Right place at right time for our goal
Alexandre Lacazette – 5
Not one of his best games and he still doesn’t seem quite up to speed
Sub:
Eddie Nketiah – 5
Never really got into the game with United in charge towards the end
