Almost gave them an early goal with a really poor pass, but got bailed out by Gabriel. Did fine otherwise, made one good second half save

I thought his booking was harsh, especially as Brighton players made similar fouls and got no card, but went to ground in the second half and was lucky Minteh stayed on his feet. At that point Arteta replaced him with Calafiori

A colossal performance, made that early goal saving clearance, but overall made 14 clearances, blocked 2 shots, and gave them nothing even when they made changes

Very good, slotted in at centre-half when Calafiori came on, he made 11 clearances, 3 tackles and 2 interceptions

Really dug deep tonight, made a good chance for Havertz with an tackle high up the pitch, and did his defensive work too

Played one lovely pass to Saka which he chose to cross from when I think he might have had a shot, but as a team we were blunt as an attacking force

Grew into the game in the second part of the second half, but scored the only goal of the game and hopefully this opens the floodgates for him

Clumsy. He's been better of late but this was bad.

Had a half decent chance to score, but skewed it well wide, not sure what's happened to his finishing

Not amazing, but significantly more involved and impactful than the man he replaced.

Gave us a bit of something in their half down the left which was useful

10/10 - Piero Hincapie telling that gobby little prick Hurzeler to 'Shhh' as the Brighton manager was chirping away at him as he was about to take a throw. Annoying little wanker.
