Find out who impressed with our Gooner Fanzine Player Ratings 

David Raya - 6.8/10 Baited the press with a calm head, at times his distribution left a bit to be desired 

Oleksandr Zinchenko - 6.7/10 Carried the ball very well at times, legs grew heavy as the game went on

William Saliba - 8/10 Brick wall

Gabriel - 8.5/10 Brick wall with reinforced stainless steel 

Ben White - 8/10 Imperious link-up with Odegaard and astute decision-making

Thomas Partey - 8.2/10 It’s a high, high compliment that this Arsenal team looked to feed him the ball so often. Conducting play from deep with a remarkable range of pass

Martin Odegaard - 9/10 Running out of words for this man. Outrageous finish, outstanding leadership and unparalleled ball retention.

Emile Smith Rowe - 7.5/10 Brilliant work for both goals, and so pleasing to see him at nye-on full capacity. Missed an absolute guilt-edged chance off the back of some Martin magic. Will he ever get his goal?

Leandro Trossard - 7/10  Reports are that Luton’s right back is still dizzy 

Kai Havertz - 8.2/10 Another assured, chest-out, chin-up display. A relentless out-ball option for Partey to send one long to, and brilliant footwork all night long

Reiss Nelson - 7/10 A big drop-off from our starting options, but had a pretty decent night all-told. A headache for full-backs when he gets up to full pelt.

Substitutes 

Declan Rice - 6.8/10 Had very little to do, but offered the Arsenal a helpful boost in a flate, stale period.

Eddie Nketiah - 6.8/10 Really great to see him making sound, intelligent decisions, demonstrating strong back-to-goal play, and nearly grabbed himself a goal late-on.

Takehiro Tomiyasu - 7.5/10 God, he’s decent, isn’t he? Defensively uncompromising and displayed attacking threat, too.

Gabi Martinelli - 7/10  Emirates gave a huge roar at the sight of him coming on. 

Jorginho - 6/10 Did he even touch the ball?
