Mikel Arteta blasted his Arsenal side for letting another lead slip in the Premier League after a 1-1 draw with Chelsea
Arsenal and Chelsea played to a draw in West London this evening. Here are our player ratings for Arsenal:
David Raya – 7.0: Started strong with a great early save and was comfortable with his distribution, though he couldn’t do much to stop Chelsea’s goal.
Ben White – 7.0: Handled the ever-dangerous Pedro Neto well, despite the Portuguese winger scoring from a central position.
William Saliba – 7.0: Another solid performance from the Frenchman, who kept Jackson and Palmer at bay with composed defending.
Gabriel Magalhães – 7.0: Matched his defensive partner’s level and worked hard to limit Chelsea’s attacking threats.
Jurrien Timber – 7.0: Had a busy evening against Madueke but contributed to Arsenal’s offensive play when possible.
Martin Odegaard – 7.5: Returned to form, providing the assist for Arsenal’s goal and making several other impressive passes.
Thomas Partey – 5.5: Struggled against in-form Moisés Caicedo, providing some defensive cover but needed to contribute more in possession.
Declan Rice – 6.5: Showed determination, though his passing didn’t create many clear opportunities in this must-win game.
Bukayo Saka – 5.5: Typically strong in big games, but fell short of expectations tonight and struggled to make an impact.
Kai Havertz – 7.0: Played well and was unlucky to have a goal disallowed for offside. Came close to netting a winner.
Gabriel Martinelli – 8.0: One of his best performances in recent memory, capped with a well-taken goal that will boost his confidence.
Leandro Trossard – 4.5: Had two promising chances to score the winner but failed to capitalize on either.
Mikel Merino – 6.5: A decent cameo, slotting well into midfield and maintaining Arsenal’s rhythm.
Gabriel Jesus – N/A: Played too little to make a noticeable impact.
