Ratings 2: Irons against Gooners

Niall hands out his marks

Fabianski: Made a couple of vital saves as the Arsenal comeback really got underway 7
Coufal: Played his usual full part in the fast start and kept Aubameyang at bay 7
Diop: Credit for a superb overhead clearance off the line 6
Dawson: Looked a little stretched by the end. Own goal and let Lacazette in for the equaliser 6
Cresswell: Given a very rough time by Saka and, unexpectedly, Calum Chambers. Wasn’t given much support in his defence 6
Rice: Looks terrific driving forwards with the ball. Showed frustration a few times at lack of options ahead of him 7
Soucek: Very unfortunate that his challenge on Lacazette deflected into the net and gave Arsenal a sniff, just after deflecting in our 3rd 7
Bowen: Very sharp in the first-half. Didn’t particularly look to be in need of replacing 7
Lingard: Brilliant goal and quick-thinking to set up the 2nd 8
Benrahma: Final contribution, a driving run and cross for Antonio, was his high-point. Need more of this please 6
Antonio: On another day could have had a hat-trick. Forced to pick up a booking tracking back when Noble had been totally bypassed 7

Subs
Noble: Not really sure what the point of bringing him on was – nowhere near mobile enough to stop the opposition 3
Fredericks: Another peculiar substitution, on late wide right, given Arsenal’s threat down our left  No rating
