Find out who impresed with our Player Ratings:

David Raya: 7/10 - Excellent save early in the second half from Isaac Babadi

Ben White: 7/10 - Good to see the popular defender back in the starting line up. Will be interesting to note if Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel will do something similar when he announces his first England squad later this week. Switched for Jurrien Timber late on

Jakub Kiwior: 7/10 - Put in a shift 

Gabriel: 7.5/10 - Solid and relaible 

Myles Lewis-Skelly: 7/10 - Was unlucky not to score when having a first half effort nudged against the post

Declan Rice: 7.5/10 - Grabbed his second goal in five days to put away Sterling’s excellent cross before the break. Booked and sensibly subbed moments later.

Jorginho (c): 6.5/10 - Captained the side with Martin Odegaard rested for most of the game in what was effectively a dead rubber

Alex Zinchenko: 7.5/10 - Scored his first Champions League goal in his 40th appearance with a superb strike after driving at the PSV backline. Subbed for Martin Odegaard with 15 minutes remaining

Kieran Tierney: 7/10 - Replaced by Gabi Martinelli

Mikel Merino: 6.5/10 - Worked hard but couldn’t find a way through the PSV backline

Raheem Sterling: 8/10 - Two assists in a performance that had fans purring. If only the Chelsea loanee had been able to perform at this level since last August. Nearly grabbed a goal with a driving run late in the first half but was foiled by Benitez, who must absolutely hate the site of Arsenal at the moment

Substitutes:

Riccardo Calafiori: 7.5/10 - Swapped for Rice moments after the midfielder picked up a booking and nearly scored shortly afterwards but his effort was blocked by Benitez at the near post

Leandro Trossard: 6/10 - On for Merino in a double switch

Martin Odegaard: 6/10 - On for Zinchenko on 75 minutes

Gabi Martinelli: 6/10 - On for fellow left-sided attacker Kieran Tierney

Jurrien Timber: 6/10 - Replaced Ben White late on
