FW Bukayo Saka, 5 — The winger forced a save from the goalkeeper with a well placed free-kick but was otherwise quiet for Arsenal on the right side. Replaced by Raheem Sterling in the second half.
FW Gabriel Jesus, 5 — Gabriel Jesus worked hard while leading the line but struggled to make a meaningful impact before being replaced by Leandro Trossard in the second half.
FW Gabriel Martinelli, 5 — Flashed an effort over the bar with one of few chances created by Arsenal. Martinelli also worked hard when helping out Timber. Had Arsenal’s best chance of the second half but missed the target again.
Substitutes (players introduced after 70 minutes = no rating)
Leandro Trossard (On for Jesus, 58″), 6 — Trossard tried to get Arsenal moving in the right direction by carrying the ball down the left flank before playing simple passes inside.
Jorginho (Partey, 58″), 6 — On for Thomas Partey before the hour mark and kept things ticking in midfield, though he could have taken more care with possession at times.
Raheem Sterling (Saka, 72″), N/R — An appearance tonight saw him become the first player to represent four different English teams in the Champions League. Created a chance quickly after coming on when picking out Martinelli, who smashed over the bar.
Riccardo Calafiori (Timber, 72″), N/R — A positive performance by the summer signing, who seamlessly adapted to the match, stuck to his task well defensively and provided a spark when driving with the ball through midfield.
