Ramsdale - 8 - Brilliant save when it was 0-0. Mistake free and again a calming influence
Tomiyasu - 8- Assist for the Martinelli goal, but he scores high mainly for his very solid defensive work
White - 8 - Won his battles, Calm in possession. Needs to quicken the pace at times
Gabriel - 8 - Newcastle tried to ruffle him, he beat them down, Solid.
Tavares - 9 - MOTM - It would be a 10 if not for the wayward shooting in the first half. He was simply brilliant going forward and defending
Lokonga - 8 - Silky smooth. he seems to glide. Created a lot of danger for Newcastle and he rarely put a foot wrong.
Partey - 5 - Just too many misplaced passes and he just didn't step control the middle at all
ESR - 7 - Not a great first half, but really came into the game in the second. Should have buried his chance with the header. Good role in first goal.
Saka - 9 - Excellent. A super finish and created some great chances.
Odegaard - 6 - Neat and tidy, worked hard, but rarely looked like he was going to carve Newcastle open with any cleverness.
Aubameyang - 5 - for work rate. Shocking missed chance and indecisive on half chances.
Martinelli - 8 - A fabulous finish and in a short time ran the Newcastle defenders ragged.
Lacazette - 5 - didn't do much but had little time
Elneny - 5 - again not much time.. didn't feel he really shored much up when he came on
Arteta - 9 - Got pretty much every decision right, except I thought he should have started with Laca
Ref - 7 - was pretty consistent, but let Newcastle get away with too much time wasting and rotational fouling.
