Goalkeeper & Defence

David Raya (6/10):

Left in no man's land by Gabriel's mistake. Distribution was good, as was his handling under pressure, but seemed to react a bit late to Junior Kroupi's goal.

Jurrien Timber (8/10):

Solid as always. Made one vital clearance at the back post soon after Rice's goal.

William Saliba (7/10):

Looked as surprised as anyone at Gabriel's error. Fairly comfortable evening after that.

Gabriel Magalhaes (7/10):

Calamitous error to gift Bournemouth the lead, but responded brilliantly by firing in the equaliser soon after.

Piero Hincapie (7/10):

Tough task facing Semenyo but stuck to it well. Looked to get forward when he could.

Midfield

Martin Zubimendi (6/10):

Arsenal's disjointed first half was summed up by his display. Unusually sloppy with the ball. Not his best performance.

Declan Rice (9/10):

Back in the side after missing the Villa win and produced yet another man-of-the-match display. Brilliant finish to make it 2-1 early in the second half and then added another 20 minutes from time.

Martin Odegaard (7/10):

Lovely play to set up Rice's first goal and was heavily involved in his second. Third Premier League game in a row he has produced either a goal or an assist. Getting back towards his best.

Attack

Noni Madueke (6/10):

Looked very lively early on and it was his run into the box that led to Gabriel's equaliser. Faded a bit as the game went on.

Viktor Gyokeres (6/10):

Couple of nice flicks, but kept very quiet. Wasn't a threat, although did well to worry the Bournemouth defence in the build-up to Rice's goal.

Gabriel Martinelli (5/10):

Did find some space over on the left at times, but his end product wasn't good enough.

Subs & Manager

Gabriel Jesus (6/10):

Worked hard and looked to hold the ball up under pressure.

Bukayo Saka (7/10):

Had only been on the pitch a few minutes when he raced onto Odegaard's pass and picked out Rice perfectly to make it 3-1.

Leandro Trossard (6/10):

Couldn't really get into the game after his introduction, a few slack touches.

Mikel Merino (N/A):

Replaced Odegaard for the closing stages.

Mikel Arteta (6/10):

Made some changes in attack and would probably have liked to see the players who came in make more of an impact.
