Following the travesty of the unfortunate red card to Myles Lewis-Skelly, Arsenal, fresh from a UEFA Champions League victory over Dinamo Zagreb, dug really deep to get three valuable points against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Without further ado, here are the player ratings.
Defense
David Raya – Made some vital saves to keep his team’s lead intact. (8)
Jurrien Timber – Put up a combative performance to protect Arsenal’s lead. (7)
William Saliba – Was great seeing him make his comeback from injury and slotting in like he never left. (7)
Gabriel – Lead the Arsenal troops to battle and kept Wolves attackers at bay. (7)
Myles Lewis-Skelly – Took one for the team with a cynical challenge but it was never a red card in a million years. (6)
Midfield
Thomas Partey – Returned to his favored position and shored things up in midfield. (7)
Declan Rice – Never stopped running and had a half chance that almost went in. (7)
Ethan Nwaneri – Unfortunate casualty following the preposterous red card. (6)
Forwards
Gabriel Martinelli – Worked hard on the right and created some good chances. (7)
Leandro Trossard – Played very well from the left. (7)
Kai Havertz – Missed some glaring chances that would have given the score line some day light. (6)
Substitutes
Riccardo Calafiori – Came off the bench and scored what proved to be the match winner. (8)
