If Arsenal don’t want him, let him comne to Man City, and we’ll show you the magic!’ Manchester City Coach Pep Guardiola is openly questioning Arteta’s decision to sideline a player who’s proven he’s one of their best.
Whenever City’s manager is asking questions, you know something isn’t right at Arsenal, Mikel Arteta has to do something about this player real quick!.
Arsenal earned a hard-fought 1-0 win against Wolves this afternoon. Here is our players’ rating.
David Raya – 8.0
The second half was one of his busiest as an Arsenal player, but he rose to the occasion with some crucial saves.
Jurrien Timber – 7.0
Timber was solid, keeping the tricky Wolves attackers on his side of the pitch under control and neutralising their threat.
William Saliba – 7.0
Saliba stepped up brilliantly after Arsenal went down to ten men, showing composure and ensuring no Wolves striker got the better of him.
Gabriel Magalhães -7.0
Enjoying his partnership with Saliba, Gabriel was as
dependable as ever and put in another strong performance.
Myles Lewis-Skelly – 5.0
His red card almost cost Arsenal. While the decision may have been harsh, he needs to refine his decision-making when
committing tactical fouls.
Thomas Partey – 6.0
Arsenal controlled possession before the red card, but
Partey’s performance lacked anything particularly noteworthy, even when Wolves went down to ten men.
Declan Rice -7.5
A typically reliable showing from Rice. He was eager to push forward and added stability in midfield.
Ethan Nwaneri – 5.5
The youngster started again but was less effective compared to previous outings, struggling to impose himself on the
game.
Gabriel Martinelli –6.5
Made some impressive surging runs, but his final balls lacked the quality to truly trouble Wolves.
Leandro Trossard- 6.0
Trossard had a quiet game by his standards, failing to make a significant impact in attack.
Kai Havertz – 4.5
Another underwhelming performance. Arsenal desperately need a more clinical finisher to replace him in the starting lineup.
Substitutes
Riccardo Calafiori -7.5
Made the difference with his decisive winner and also
performed his defensive duties well.
Kieran Tierney – N/A
Came on too late to have any real impact.
