3/25 Scherbitski – 7 out of 10

REUTERS
4/25 Rios – 7
Solid in defense. Had a very good opportunity to open the mark early before hitting his low shot straight to Iwobi.
AP
5/25 Volkov – 6
Composed in the back and very well treated by the countless waves of Arsenal attacks.
AP
6/25 Filipenko – 7
Stayed busy and conceded unnecessary mistakes, although he may be satisfied with his night's work.
AP
7/25 Filipovic – 7
A busy evening and conceded unnecessary mistakes.
AP
8/25 Baga – 7
Almost gave Arsenal the advantage when he missed the ball to clear the ball at the far post, giving Kolasinac the chance to shoot at goal.

9/25 Dragun – 8
Opened the score beautifully. Kolasinac stormed to meet the center of Stasevich and give a head shot beyond Cech.
AP
10/25 Hleb – 7
Obviously not the player that was once, but the former Arsenal man did well on the break before he was exhausted in the middle of the second period.
AP
11/25 Milic – 7

Getty / Independent
15/25 Cech – 6
Reacted quickly to cut the center of Skavysh early. Could do very little to prevent Dragun's powerful header.
REUTERS
16/25 Mustafi – 7
Had a great opportunity to open the scoring at the beginning of the second period, but only to eat up his lines completely. Hocha just headed off in the first half.
AP
17/25 Koscielny – 6
Not his best game. Fought with his foot all the way through.
REUTERS
18/25 Monreal – 6
He's not the most natural center back but he's played pretty well, although he's guilty of trying to play too many Hollywood pbades.
REUTERS
19/25 Maitland-Niles – 6
The youngster is still learning his trade in the right-back and it was not his best game. Sloppy in possession of the ball – no player from Arsenal has ever given the ball.
REUTERS
20/25 Guendouzi – 7
A tough night for the young but at the heart of all that Arsenal did well and at least tried to keep up the pace by repeatedly beating the balls.
REUTERS
21/25 Xhaka – 6
Poor. Little impact before being withdrawn in the second period. Reserve.
Getty / Independent
22/25 Kolasinac – 7
Best player of Arsenal. Ramped to the front often and should have opened the scoring just to punch a wide shot. SEVEN incredible key pbades – four more than any other Arsenal player.

23/25 Mkhitaryan – 6
A pretty neat performance, but is not it the problem? He never seems to catch a match by the scruff of the neck and Arsenal was badly in need of a leader here.
EPA
24/25 Iwobi – 6
Attempted to advance the ball and worked tirelessly – though she will inevitably be unfairly referred to as Arsenal's scapegoat.
AP
25/25 Lacazette – 4
If the ball was in the back of the net in the second half, he was judged correctly offside. Was then expelled late for throwing his helpless arm into a BATE defender. Will miss the return match next week.
