Arsenal moved to the top of the Premier League ahead of their rivals clashing on Sunday.
The Gunners took an early lead through a Declan Rice header, but after an Aaron Ramsdale mistake on the verge of half time, Arsenal had to work hard in the second half to regain the lead.
Finally the breakthrough came just minutes from time when Kai Havertz nodded in
Here’s how I rated the players:
Aaron Ramsdale – 5
Ben White – 9
William Saliba – 6
Gabriel – 6
Jakub Kiwior – 6
Jorginho – 6
Martin Odegaard – 7
Declan Rice – 8
Kai Havertz – 8
Bukayo Saka – 7
Leandro Trossard – 6
Men of the match: I’m going to give it to Ben White. He had some really poor games in the middle of the season but since the Dubai break, like many of this squad, the versatile English defender has excelled. A goal against Sheffield United was followed up by two assists today. Delcan Rice and Havertz also deserve big credit for their goals and overall contributions.
