Brighton 0-3 Arsenal

Calm, assured, and made a brilliant save from Enciso just before half-time to ensure we went in ahead at the break

His consistency is just so impressive, the way his reading of the game and positioning has developed is so impressive

Pulled off a couple of moments on the ball tonight that you'd be in awe of if a number 10 did them. Defensively monstered Brighton.

Should have scored early on, but afterwards made 6 clearances, snuffed out every bit of Brighton threat

Had one iffy moment when he misjudged a ball which led to a corner, otherwise had a decent game in a really solid team performance

Just before he drove on and provided an assist for our second goal, I wondered if we might need to take him off. Shows what I know!

He was everywhere, and he had a difficult job tonight which meant he had to cover a lot of ground

Another captain's performance, leading from the front with the usual energy

Good to have him back, he said afterwards he was 'struggling' to make the game today, but he contributed well and made no mistake with his penalty

Really lively today, had some chances in the first half, and won the penalty

Easily his best game for Arsenal, got a goal, won his aerial duels, defended brilliantly, made selfless runs, and provided an assist for Leandro Trossard. Really impressive today.

Came on, worked hard, got a goal against his former club which he'll really have enjoyed.

Came on at a point where we needed him to defend, and he did that really well – as well as creating a late chance for Eddie

Solid as you'd expect, the perfect sub to make at that point of the game
