Made a couple of really important saves in the first half, handling was assured and played one superb pass to Havertz

Made 3 tackles, and 5 interceptions – solid on the ball as always but we were shaky in the centre of defence for spells of this game

Careless and sloppy on the ball too often today, but at the death was there to head things away

Right place, right time – got his first home goal for Arsenal and it was a very important one

He looked a bit leggy to me, not quite his precision self on the ball, but what a flick to set up the winner!

Did fine, but when we needed more cutting edge, Arteta turned to the bench

Grew into the game, should have done better with a chance from the edge of the box, but added some rhythm once we'd scored the equaliser

Did some things well, did others frustratingly poorly, and looked v tired towards the end. His cross led to the Calafiori goal, and he made the Odegaard chance, but there were moments he could also have done better

By his standards a poor day, involved in the second goal, but struggled to make an impact. Fired one over, and should have scored right at the death but didn't look confident despite only having the keeper to beat

Had a couple of tame headers in the first half but that was it

Made a big impact, obviously the goal was the key contribution, but his passing range helped us keep control too

Did fine, but clearly still a bit rusty

I think he should have scored when he got the ball with the keeper miles out of his goal, but took the wrong option. Set up Saka for a late chance that should have added icing to the cake
