How we rated the Irons against the Gooners

Hugh gives out his points

Fabianski: Weird afternoon – three up …no chance with their goals and one fine save low at the end 7

Coufal, Probably stretched more today than we’ve seen this season but stuck at it without looking as commanding as usual 7

Diop: He’s looked ok since he returned and was pretty composed under pressure 7

Dawson: Scored an unstoppable goal past his own keeper but some important interventions and blocks 6

Cresswell: Found out at times – not his best afternoon 6

Rice: Energy levels are extreme and almost gave us the win with an astonishing run and shot as he emerged from his own half past four or five Arsenal players 8

Soucek: Credited for the third goal and quieter than usual but wasted nothing when on the ball 6+

Bowen: Very busy, scored an opportunist goal but faded with most of the rest of them 6+

Lingard: Hugely effective again – great twists and turns and ball carrying – dine goal from distance and looked dangerous even when Arsenal were in the ascenfdancy and the ball found him.8+

Benrahma: Couple of decent bits of work but still has a lot to prove for me 5+

Antonio: Hit the post and simply doesn’t look the player he was since his comeback. We are not seeing those big runs from him 5+

Subs:

Noble: Brought on to help close the game down – wrong move again Moysie but did what he does and the three points disappeared anyway 5 

Fredericks: On late No rating
