Arsenal 3-0 Dinamo Zagreb: Player Ratings

Arsenal came close to securing qualification to the knockout stages of the Champions League knockout rounds after a straightforward victory over Dinamo Zagreb. The starting XI was close to what we predicted, but the score line actually flatters the Croatian side, as Arsenal missed a plethora of chances.

Without further ado, here are the player ratings.

Defense

David Raya – Was relatively untested all night long. (6)

Jurrien Timber – Did okay on the right but had a disastrous moment that Jakub Kiwior bailed him out from. (7)

Jakub Kiwior – Had an untroubled night but almost created a nervy moment for himself that would have gone awry. (7)

Gabriel – Put up a great performance at the back and should have scored a goal. (7)

Oleksandr Zinchenko – Had a lot of the ball and should have done better with his forward runs. (7)

Midfield

Jorginho – Made a lot of progressive passes in the game. (7)

Declan Rice – Scored a great goal and should have gotten his first Champions League brace. (8)

Martin Odegaard – Finally scored a goal from open play and was very relieved. (7)

Forwards

Gabriel Martinelli – Setup a great cross that was converted by Kai Havertz. (7)

Raheem Sterling – Put up another weak performance and has been very underwhelming. The fact that he has more yellow cards than goals for Arsenal speaks volumes. (5)

Kai Havertz – Scored a goal and created an assist in another great performance. (8)

Substitutes

Ethan Nwaneri – Produced a great cross that Rice should have converted. (7)

Thomas Partey – Gave Timber a breather and slotted in at right back. (6)

Kieran Tierney – Slotted in for Zinchenko with minimal fuss. (7)

Leandro Trossard – Created a neat assist for Odegaard to clinch the game. (7)

Nathan Butler-Oyedeji – Didn’t play long enough to get a rating. (N/A)
