Gabriel Martinelli and the four other Arsenal players who impressed the fans vs Sheffield United

Arsenal endured more frustration at home on Saturday as they drew 1-1 with Sheffield United at the Emirates Stadium.

Despite taking the lead through Gabriel Martinelli in the first half in north London, the Gunners were pegged back in the second half, with John Fleck netting the equaliser for the Blades to frustrate the home faithful.

However, while the result was disappointing for the Gunners as they remained in tenth in the Premier League, some players stood out for fans with their performances.

One of those was the goalscorer Martinelli, who received the highest average rating from supporters using our interactive widget on football.london .

The Brazilian received an average rating of 8.1, with Bukayo Saka the next best with an average rating of 7.9 after his display at left-back, in the absence of Sead Kolasinac.

Three other players received an average rating of more than seven, with Lucas Torreira given a 7.4 average rating, just ahead of Nicolas Pepe (7.3) and defender Shkodran Mustafi (7.1).

Five players - Granit Xhaka (6.8), David Luiz (6.7), Bernd Leno (6.7), Mesut Ozil (6.6) and Ainsley Maitland-Niles (6.1) - received average ratings of between six and seven, with Alexandre Lacazette the only player from the starting XI to receive an average rating of less than six.

The Frenchman, who has been critical of his team-mates on social media after the game, received an average rating of 5.9.

Eddie Nketiah, who came on as a substitute for a late cameo, was given an average rating of 5.5.
