Arsenal player ratings vs Chelsea as one scores 8/10 and two underwhelming 4/10s in 2-2 draw

David Raya - A poor performance from the Spaniard. Struggled with his positioning and came out at the wrong moments. Almost gave a third goal away. 4.

Ben White - Had some strong defensive moments but was also lacking at times. 5.

William Saliba - A fairly composed and steady performance, making important tackles and contributing to the defence effectively. 6.

Gabriel - Made some key defensive plays but also had lapses in concentration that allowed Chelsea opportunities. 6.

Oleksandr Zinchenko - Zinchenko struggled throughout the first half. His positioning and defensive contributions were subpar. Substituted at half-time. 4.

Martin Odegaard - The Gunners captain had a quiet game, with moments of creativity but failing to impact the match significantly. 5.

Jorginho - Couldn’t assert himself in midfield at times. Was taken off for Smith Rowe on 68 minutes. 5.

Declan Rice - Scored a great goal but also dominated midfield and showed why Arsenal paid so much for him in the summer. 8.

Bukayo Saka - Displayed flashes of his talent and notched a great assist for Trossard’s equaliser. 7.

Gabriel Jesus - Lacked a cutting edge in the attacking third and his goal-scoring opportunities were limited. 5.

Gabriel Martinelli - Martinelli put in a good shift but had minimal impact on the game, often isolated up front. 6.

Substitutes:

Takehiro Tomiyasu - The Japan international’s introduction at half-time added more stability to the defence, and he was more effective in nullifying Chelsea’s attacks. 6.

Kai Havertz - Had a positive impact in a similar way to the other substitutes. 6.

Emile Smith Rowe - A decent cameo appearance and brought energy into the midfield. 6.

Leandro Trossard - Made an immediate impact with his energy and creativity, adding a new dimension to Arsenal’s attack. Superb finish for the equaliser. 7.
