Marek Rodak - Had his work cut out for the Gunners goals but pulled off a great point blank safe from Alexandre Lacazette. 6
Denis Odoi - Early run foward after a good passing exchange from the Cottagers. Couldn't finish from 18 yards though. Challenged Arsenal's left flank with his runs forward. A decent showing at right back with Kenny Tete and Ola Aina arriving ti put on the pressure. 7
Michael Hector - Composed when playing the ball out but some clumsy defending against Lacazette to pick up a yellow card. Bullied by Gabriel as Arsenal's new signing scored from a corner. 5
Tim Ream - Will be very disappointed with his failure to clear the ball ahead of Lacazette's goal. Showed more urgency to not let Willian in later in the first half and to block Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's effort in the second period but first error was too costly. 4
Joe Bryan - Lost the ball deep in his own half in the 21st minute to let Arsenal in. Put under pressure as Willian cut inside and Hector Bellerin pressed forwards. 5.
Harrison Reed - Energetic performance and showed flashes of how he can set the tempo at his best. 6.
Josh Onomah - Intelligent pressing of Arsenal's defence but could find room in between the lines too infrequently. 5,
Tom Cairney - Struggled to get into the game as Arsenal dominated possession. Picked up a yellow card with a frustrated challenge on Willian. 5.
Neeskens Kebano - Ran the channels well but struggled to have a sustained impact. 5.
Ivan Cavaleiro - Confident on the ball but lacked the intuity and penetration you would hope. 5.
Aboubakar Kamara - Looked to show his physicality but struggled to create anything meaninful. Flash strike in the 56th minute that was always curling away perhaps his best chance after Arsenal's early scare. 5.
Subs:
Aleksandar Mitrovic - Found his first very quickly after coming on but was straight at Bernd Leno. Gave a much greater challenge to the Arsenal backline. 6.
André-Frank Zambo Anguissa - Carred the ball well in the opportunities he got. Covered plenty of ground and wanted the ball. 6.
Bobby Armani Decordova-Reid - Looked at a cheeky attempt to take advantage of Leno's position but couldn't execute. 5.
