Arsenal 2-0 Brentford

Didn't have a lot to do but made one crucial save from a close range header and his reaction time was insane

Great to see him back, got an assist for the opening goal with some classic Ben White movement, defensively excellent leading the team for tackles and clearances with 6 apiece

Had a solid game until he had to go off with injury, landed awkwardly which is always a bit worrying

Mikel Arteta calls him a warrior, you can see why. 5 clearances, 3 interceptions, always willing to put his head where it might hurt. And once tonight it did

Very good again, just such a dynamic player in all aspects of the game. Made 5 tackles, 3 clearances, and was a threat in their half too

No Arsenal player made more passes this evening, always available for a teammate and solid on the ball

Looked a bit tired tonight from about 60 mins off, went off with an injury, and hopefully it's just cramp or fatigue related. Always driving to make something happen.

Good to see him back, made 4 key passes, got 90 minutes under his belt

Made a good chance for White in the first half, but struggled to impose himself in the opposition half, lost the ball too easily at times

Had one nice shot after quick feet, and fed White for the goal, but his end product wasn't quite there and set-piece delivery was poor

A goal and an assist – the man is in top form at the moment and it's hard to argue he doesn't deserve his place up front

On for Mosquera, just slotted in, zero fuss, top class

Had a glorious chance to score but didn't make good contact, but made the game safe in injury time

Came on on the left, helped inject some energy into a lacklustre second half performance, drew a booking from one of their lads

Replaced Rice late on, not on long enough to rate
