Nottingham Forest 0-1 Arsenal

Didn't have to make many saves, but his handling from crosses and corners was excellent

He played for 66 minutes

Made a superb tackle to deny Delap right at the end, and was typically secure in possession

Found Delap a handful at times, had a decent chance to score our first set-piece goal of the season but headed over

Not at his best today, really didn't gel with Eze but did a bit better in the second half

113 touches, by some distance the most of any Arsenal player. Made 3 key passes, and one brilliant tackle late on, but missed a great chance set up by Timber

Thought he looked quite crafty at times in the first half, but there just wasn't really any space for him to operate in effectively. Only Gabriel won more aerials.

Busy, always looking for the ball, and did combine well with Timber to make that great chance for Rice

Really struggled today, it just didn't work for him at all out there

Ineffective today, when his full-back picked up an early yellow, I wanted to see him take him on again and again, but it didn't happen

A couple of half chances, set up by Odegaard and a Rice delivery, but nothing clear cut.

He made a difference – not always precise, but he tried things that Eze couldn't/didn't, and it paid dividends when his shot deflected in for the winner. He earned that goal.

Came on, won a few balls down the channels

I think he gave us just a little something extra, not much, but a little and Rice probably should have done better with it

I had wondered if he might come on up front, but slotted into midfield, tidy enough
