Arsenal Player Ratings Vs Man City: One Player Gets 8/10 But Four Others Get 4

Arsenal snatched a late point against a stubborn Manchester City on Sunday evening.

The Gunners laboured in the first half, and they received a sucker punch after Erling Haaland scored on the counter-attack.

Manager Mikel Arteta threw caution to the wind after the interval, sending on almost every attacker at his disposal, before Gabriel Martinelli finally broke down the door with a delightful lob in injury time. Read below as we share our Arsenal player ratings for the 1-1 draw at the Emirates.

Goalkeeper and Defence


GK – David Raya – 6/10 – couldn’t get down quickly enough for Haaland’s goal but he did make a decent save when the Norwegian had another attempt in the second half.

RB – Jurrien Timber – 5/10 – the Dutchman had a tough time against Jeremy Doku, picking up a booking for his troubles.

CB – William Saliba – 5/10 – decided not to track Haaland’s run for the goal, and he also got outmuscled by the City no.9 on more than one occasion.

CB – Gabriel – 4/10 – the centre-back was running in treacle when he tried to track back before Haaland’s goal. He shouldn’t have pressed that high up the pitch in the first place.

LB – Riccardo Calafiori – 6/10 – the Italian didn’t do a lot wrong, and he kept Phil Foden quiet for the most part. He didn’t really provide a threat when going forward, though.
