Arsenal player ratings vs Chelsea: Set-Piece FC won't be denied! William Saliba and Jurrien…

David Raya (8/10):

Made a great reaction stop from a deflected Chelsea corner at his near post and also showed sharp reflexes to deny Joao Pedro. Arsenal's best player on the night - and that says it all.

Jurrien Timber (7/10):

A real threat going forward in the first half and although he was given a lot more defensive work to do in the second, he still popped up to restore Arsenal's lead by heading home their second goal;

William Saliba (7/10):

Broke the deadlock with a close-range header that struck a Chelsea player on the way in but was lucky to get away with gifting possession to Cole Palmer just after the hour mark and had a couple of other nervy moments up against Joao Pedro.

Gabriel Magalhaes (7/10):

Set up Saliba's opener with a tremendous leap at the back post and later tried an audacious lob. Didn't neglect his defensive duties, winning plenty of duels, though he was booked for hauling down Joao Pedro.

Piero Hincapie (5/10):

Made a mess of dealing with James' in-swinging corner to gift Chelsea an equaliser but it was his overall performance that should concern Arteta, as the Ecuadorian wasn't good defensively or offensively.
