Ramsdale - 8 - Another good performance. Not entirely sure about the second goal. Looked unsighted and it was from closer range than it should have been
Tomiyasu - 6 - Good in defence, but distribution off today
White - 7 - Very good start, looked class, defended well all game until he was exposed by a midfield mistake and made a mistake by backing off. Top work in the equaliser
Gabriel - 6 - Defended well for most of the game - mistake to let Benteke cut inside
Tierney - 5 - Some of his positivity is gone - too much back passing, but defended OK, but man he should have scored
Odegaard - 3 - Really poor. His touch was off and he just drifted everywhere without any purpose.
Partey - 4 Just over run in midfield. Can't blame him too much because he was hopelessly outnumbered, but man that error. This is not the Spanish League. No time to dawdle or turn into trouble in this league. Has to learn but is he just too old now to learn?
Saka - 5 - didn't get into the game.. play was not coming through midfield and found it hard to get into dangerous positions
ESR - 6 - some nice touhes. One of the few who seems able to protect the ball and get away from pressure
Pepe - 7 - Involved in both goals other wise would have been a 4. He simply holds the ball too long and loses it needlessly. Great work for the first goal however
Aubameyang - 7 - Blistering start, Great finish, Faded
Laca - 9 - MOTM - Superb when he came on, Held it well, created danger, unlucky not to score another. Start next game?
Martinelli - 8 - Full of purpose, Another who was able to protect the ball and create danger. It's clear to me he MUST play left if he plays. He is not a CF.
Lakonga - 5 - started pretty good, misplaced a pass and then got robbed for the second goal. Not worried about him, tough outing to come in at that time when Palace were so on top in the middle
Arteta - 4- poor starting lineup. Was begging for trouble with a midfield that sparse.
Ref - 1 - blatant cheating in not sending off a Palace player, the same player he let off a cynical foul, then booked Saka for the same thing. He's had a career now of blatantly cheating against Arsenal
