Arsenal vs Newcastle Player Ratings: Arsenal Player Ratings

Arsenal were comfortable 2-0 winners over Rafa Benitez’s Newcastle United side who posed the Gunners no real danger throughout a game in which the Arsenal attackers had control right from the opening knockings of the game. 

Goals from Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette gave Unai Emery a crucial victory that hoists the Gunners up to third spot with Spurs having slipped up against Liverpool on the weekend.

Here are the Arsenal Player Ratings:

Bernd Leno – 7

Other than a decent save in the first half, was barely a part of the game. 

Shkodran Mustafi – 7

His usual inconsistent self, was cool on the ball at times though. 

Sokratis – 7

Anchored the line well and is the Gunners’ most dependable centre-half. 

Nacho Monreal – 7

The Spaniard protected his side well and wasn’t shabby on the ball either.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles – 6

He wasn’t really able to impact the game as the Magpies defended deep. 

Aaron Ramsey – 8

Easily their best player on the night, his goal calmed the nerves. 

Matteo Guendouzi – 7

Solid performance from the youngster who can’t put a foot wrong at the moment.

Alexandre Lacazette – 7

He held up the ball decently and scored the goal that secured the points. 

Alex Iwobi – 6

Yet another shabby performance from the youngster who was substituted.

Pierre Emerick Aubameyang – 7

Looked bright after coming on and notched up an assist as well. 

Mohamed Elneny – 6

Brought on to secure their slender lead and did a decent job.
