Arsenal faced off against Manchester United at Old Trafford earlier this evening as they looked to earn a positive result on the road in the Premier League. The Gunners made a good start to the game and got their noses ahead in the 13th minute thanks to Riccardo Calafiori\u2019s effort from point-blank range. Mikel Arteta\u2019s men sat on their lead well and went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.<\/p>\n

The North London club managed the game well in the second half and earned a narrow 1-0 win at the Theatre of Dreams.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at how each Arsenal<\/a> player fared during the clash against the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

GK: David Raya \u2013 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He made a handful of important saves at the back and earned a vital clean sheet away from home.<\/p>\n

RB: Ben White \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

White was solid when defending inside his half and had a couple of bright moments in the opponent\u2019s half.<\/p>\n

CB: William Saliba \u2013 7.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was a rock at the back and passed the ball accurately during the game.<\/p>\n

CB: Gabriel \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gabriel cleared the danger when needed and won his fair share of aerial duels.<\/p>\n

LB: Riccardo Calafiori \u2013 7.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

CM: Martin Odegaard \u2013 7.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He linked up play well with others around him, but there was no goal for him.<\/p>\n

Zubimendi anchored the midfield well but offered very little in the final third.<\/p>\n

CM: Declan Rice \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was not shy of having a strike at goal but struggled to impress today.<\/p>\n

RW: Bukayo Saka \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saka had a couple of bright moments in the game but was mostly quiet on the right flank.<\/p>\n

ST: Viktor Gyokeres \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Swedish talent never looked like he would score.<\/p>\n

LW: Gabriel Martinelli \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He caught the eye at times in the first half and was replaced in the 59th minute.<\/p>\n
