Ramsdale - 8 - Full of confidence , concentration and a commanding performance.
Tomiyasu - 8 - Gave the Burnley wide player zero time and was aggressive and disciplined throughout.
White - 7 - had to drop to a 7 because of the passback, but otherwise good
Gabrel - 9 - MOTM - Battled all game and was often the man there to clear the call away. Excellent
Tierney - 5 - His passing is just off at the moment and he was again lax.
Partey - 7 - Good control of midfield, but also excellent protection for the back 4, dropped in to the back line to help out often
Smith Rowe - 4 - two missed chances to add to his missed chances against Norwich, plus poor final ball too often.
Ødegaard - 7 - upweighted for a magnificent free-kick. Also worked hard, but didn't do enough going forward
Pepe - 4 - Another chance missed and again simply didn't control the ball or create enough. Some poor decision making with the final ball
Saka - 5 - Nothing much worked for him, but it was still his run that led to the free kick and goal
Aubameyang - 7 - Having rewatched the game. the guy ran his socks off and also helped defensively. But for some shockingly bad final balls that should have gone to him, he'd have had at least 2 one on ones with the keeper
Sambi - 7 - Love watching him play. So composed again and made the right decisions with his passing
Ainsley - 6 - Worked very hard and made sure he did the job he was sent on to do
Tavares - 6 - Would have been a 7 but for his moment of greed near the end when he could have us in for a great chance.
Arteta - 8 - good team selection, good set up, a win under intense pressure.
Ref - 5- Gave fouls against us for the slightest touch, but not the other way around. Gave a ridiculous penalty decision that not even he could hold up under review. Horrible error. What was he thinking?
