Ramsdale Gets 5.5, Odegaard With 7 | Arsenal Players Rated In Disappointing Loss Vs Brighton

Arsenal welcomed Brighton & Hove Albion at the Emirates Stadium earlier this afternoon as they focused on securing a good result at home. The Gunners made a poor start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 28th minute when Leandro Trossard scored with an excellent finish. Mikel Arteta’s men went into the half-time break 1-0 down on the scoreline.

Enock Mwepu doubled Brighton’s advantage in the 66th minute with a brilliant strike. Even though Martin Odegaard scored a late goal, it turned out to be a consolation one as the North London outfit crashed to a disappointing 2-1 loss in front of their home fans.

Let’s take a look at how each Arsenal player performed during the match against the Seagulls.

GK: Aaron Ramsdale – 5.5/10

The Gunners keeper made just one save in the game and won’t be pleased after failing to keep a clean sheet in each half.

RB: Cedric Soares – 7/10

He got stuck in with some solid tackles and created a few decent chances for his teammates going forward.

CB: Ben White – 6.5/10

White tried his best to protect his keeper but won’t be happy after conceding two goals during the 90 minutes.

CB: Gabriel – 6/10

The Brazilian talent looked shaky at the back and was a threat at the other end of the field.

LB: Granit Xhaka – 6.5/10

Xhaka made one crucial interception and picked up an assist for setting up Odegaard’s late goal.

CM: Martin Odegaard – 7/10

The Norwegian talent was unfortunate to hit the crossbar but deserves credit for scoring a late goal with a deflected attempt.

CM: Albert Sambi Lokonga – 6/10

He failed to offer enough protection for his teammates at the back but looked like a threat in the opponent’s half.

CM: Emile Smith Rowe – 6/10

Smith Rowe struggled to get into the game and got substituted after the hour mark.

RW: Bukayo Saka – 7/10

Saka caused a lot of problems for the Brighton defenders because of his creativity and dribbling.

ST: Alexandre Lacazette – 6/10

The Frenchman struggled to threaten the Brighton goal but made one key chance in the final third.

LW: Gabriel Martinelli – 6.5/10

He put his pace to good use at times but didn’t do enough to get his name on the scoresheet.

Substitutes:

ST: Eddie Nketiah – 6/10

He was really unlucky to hit the post.

RW: Nicolas Pepe – 6/10

Pepe offered very little after coming on in the 73rd minute.
