Really didn't have a lot to do, made one very good save from Tonali in the first half and maybe his pressure had an impact on Wissa's big second half opportunity

Not as good on the ball as he can be, did play Madueke in behind early on

Found Osula a handful early on but dealt with the striker well afterwards

I know he can be better in possession, but defensively strong as always.

A tenacious, determined defensive performance - 5 tackles, 4 interceptions, 5 clearances, on a day like this he was excellent in that aspect

Always an option today, solid enough in possession, squandered one decent chance from a Madueke pass

Lots of running, put in some good deliveries that we didn't attack well enough but he and Zubi don't bring the control we need in games like this. Also had a good chance to shoot but tried to cut inside, which sort of summed up our day

3 key passes, forced Pope into a good save at his near post, but still looks a way off full fitness and confidence

What a finish, the second time this season his goal has earned us a 1-0 win at home (Crystal Palace earlier in the season). Hopefully the injury isn't bad.

I thought he was much better than against City, smart pass to Havertz for the goal from the short corner when everyone was baying for him to put it into the mixer. Very tidy on the ball too

Got the assist for Eze's goal but unfortunately picked up another injury which didn't look good. And obviously isn't good for us overall

Hit and miss in moments, as ever, but that late break demonstrates clearly the issue – he cannot do the basics well enough and his inability to execute a simple pass meant we squandered a huge chance to make the game safe in the final stages

Produced a decent overhead kick which Pope saved, also took a good yellow card to prevent a dangerous transition

Gave Newcastle more to think about when he came on, hopefully he can stay fit between now and the end of the season

There was a moment Woltemade ran 50 yards towards our box and Myles should have taken a yellow card to stop that break forward. A coaching moment!

10/10 - the Arsenal fans today. Unfairly criticised for normal human reactions in the Bournemouth game, for example, the supporters absolutely did their bit today as the team played poorly (but won!).
