Mikel Arteta targets more silverware after extending his Arsenal contract until 2030
Up to that point, Arsenal had been poor with their execution in the final third and struggled to turn their dominance of the ball into clear-cut chances.
He managed just 13 touches of the ball and only one of those was in the Lille box. Gyokeres did not register a single shot.
L'Equipe deemed the Arsenal striker to be the worst player on the pitch, giving him a 2 in their player ratings for the match.
Noni Madueke also failed to impress the French outlet, with the winger receiving a 4 despite providing the assist for Jurrien Timber's opener.
There were 5s for Myles Lewis-Skelly and Mikel Merino, while no Arsenal player received more than a 7.
L'Equipe also gave Mikel Arteta a 7. The average score for the Arsenal players was just 5.5, despite the comfortable win.
Lille's average was down at 3.9, with five different players for the visitors rated a 3.
The publication does not provide ratings for substitutes, meaning Saka missed out on what would likely have been a strong review.
