Arsenal vs Southampton Player Ratings

Arsenal 

Aaron Ramsdale (10/10): Arsenal’s best player in the first half. The Arsenal keeper was in his zone with his saves and distribution.

Tomiyasu (8/10): Calm and Composed throughout the game. Something which can’t be said about the rest of the Arsenal defense. 

Ben White (7/10): White was often bullied off the ball in the early stages. Was brilliant with his feet. 

Gabriel (8/10): Had a nervy start to the game after picking up an early yellow. Rose above everyone else to score the third goal. 

Tierney (8/10): Not his best performance. However, came out with a clean sheet and an assist.

Xhaka (8/10): Slow start to the game by Xhaka. However, he grew into it and was vital in recycling the possession.  

Thomas Partey (9/10): Arguably his best performance this season. A vital one considering the criticism he has been under. 

Bukayo Saka (9/10): Squared off the ball to Lacazette for the first goal. Was unlucky to not get his name on the scoresheet.

Odegaard (9/10): 3 goals in 3 consecutive matches now for Odegaard. The Norwegian set the tone for the team in terms of pressing.

Martinelli (9/10): All-round performance from Martinelli. One of his best in the Arsenal shirt. 

Lacazette (9/10): Was wasteful in the first half. Nevertheless, finished off a beautiful team goal to open the scoring. 

Substitutes:

Holding (7/10): The opposition never really posed any attacking threat to Holding. He did clear his lines when called upon.

Sambi-Lokonga: NA

Nicolas Pepe: NA

Southampton 

Willy Caballero (3/10): Horrible start to his career as a Saint for Caballero. Should have done better for the third goal.

Valentino Livramento (5/10): Came out well short in his battle against Gabriel Martinelli. Was ineffective going forward too. 

Jack Stephens (6/10): Could’ve done better with the second goal. Won almost all of his aerial duels.

Bednarek (5/10): Similar to Stephens but worse in terms of duels and distribution.  Poor in every aspect. 

Walker-Peters (6/10): Showed some promise early. Couldn’t keep up with Saka and Tomiyasu.

Nathan Redmond (5/10): Had Ramsdale seriously worried once. Other than that Redmond was invisible. 

James Ward-Prowse (6/10):  Southampton’s best player in the game. Faded as the game went on. 

Ibramhin Diallo (6/10): Picked up some really nice positions in the first half. Failed to convert any. 

Nathan Tella (6/10): Played 2 key passes which deserved a better outcome than it got.

Armando Broja (5/10): Poor showing from Broja against a tangible Arsenal defense. Ended his night with 0 shots. 

Adam Armstrong (6/10): The game had certain something for Adam Armstrong. However, his night ended in the first half due to an injury.  

Substitutes:

Elyounoussi (6/10): Had enough minutes to make something impactful after coming on in the first half. Was easily dealt with by White and Gabriel.

Lyanco (5/10): Was subbed on to restrict the scoring. Should thank the post for saving his team twice.
