Champions League Player Ratings: Arsenal in seventh heaven in Eindhoven

Outstanding Arsenal thrash PSV to leave Eindhoven stunned 

Find out who impressed in the Netherlands with our Champions League Player Ratings 

Player Ratings:

David Raya: 7.5/10 - Lucky when PSV struck the post early on but did what he had to do as part of a defensively secure backline 

Jurrien Timber: 8/10 - Popped up with an early goal back in The Netherlands to steady Arsenal nerves

William Saliba: 8/10 - Solid and reliable

Gabriel: 8/10 - The King of Brazil is always a threat at set pieces while being resolute at the back

Myles Lewis-Skelly: 7.5/10 - Back in the starting line-up after having replaced Riccardo Calafiori. Lucky not to have picked up a second (third) red card of the season after a crunching challenge midway through the second half that saw Arteta sensibly withdraw the young defender 

Thomas Partey: 7/10 - Failed to progress his cause in terms of a new deal after being booked after fouling Luuk de Jong in the box, that left Spanish referee Jesus Gil Manzano no option but to award a penalty that No10 Noa Lang slotted home with aplomb 

Declan Rice: 7.5/10 - Provided the assist for Timber’s header as part of a neat and tidy performance that helped quieten the home crowd in a lively first half

Martin Odegaard: 8/10 - Was he fouled in the box early on, VAR thought not. No matter, the Gunners captain hit one after the break to put the visitors 4-1 up

Ethan Nwaneri: 8.5/10 - Simply unplayable at times. England boss Thomas Tuchel surely has to consider the Hale End academy graduate for the Three Lions World Cup qualifying matches at Wembley later this month.  fired in a superb strike to continue a stellar season – and to think the lad is only 17 years old

Mikel Merino: 7.5/10 - Scored his third goal as an Arsenal striker on a memorable evening in Eindhoven

Leandro Trossard: 7.5/10 - Deservedly hit the Gunners fifth to put the seal on a hard-working display 

Substitutes:

Riccardo Calafiori: 7.5/10- Replaced Lewis-Skelly midway through the first half and underlined his attacking prowess by powering home the Gunners seventh to cap a stunning night for Arsenal 

Oleksandr Zinchenko (71' for Partey): 7/10 

Raheem Sterling (71' for Nwaneri): 7/10

Ben White (76' for Merino): 7/10 

Kieran Tierney (76' for Timber): 7/10
