GK: David Raya - 9/10 - A superb clean sheet on his 29th birthday was sealed with an outstanding first half effort that palmed away  Kulusevski’s whipped in cross with Brennan Johnson lurking

RB: Ben White - 7.5/10 - Pleasingly antagonistic 

CB: William Saliba - 8/10 - Refused to allow a needless early booking to affect his game. Another world class performance as the Gunners classy centre-back purred through such a difficult test with aplomb 

CB: Gabriel - 9/10 - The Gunners hero this afternoon in a team of heroes. Superb in both boxes. Subdued Solanke prior to grabbing the winner with a thunderingly emphatic header in a crowded box to make it One Nil To The Arsenal 

LB: Jurrien Timber - 8/10 - Outstanding in defence, superb when attacking on the ball, or when supplementing colleagues further forward. An agressive attitude belies a quiet nature off the field. Such tenacity is welcome

RM: Bukayo Saka - 7.5/10 - Assist for Gabriel's winner to cap another lively performance in hostile conditions 

CM: Jorginho - 7/10 - Showed all his years of experience in attempting to quell Spurs midifelders and close down space and time 

CM: Thomas Partey - 7/10 - Wasn't as influential as he would have liked but another combative performance in the heart of battle 

LM: Gabriel Martinelli - 7/10 - Still has a a propensity to lose the ball when well-placed through over-eagerness, but always gives his all for the cause and battles his heart out - more to come from the young Brazil star, who don't forget is still only 23

CF: Kai Havertz - 7/10 - Handed a tough role up front but battled throughout and never let the Spurs backline settle, despite playing plenty of the match with his back to goal 

CF: Leandro Trossard - 7.5/10 - An unselfish performance underlining his worth to the team with excellent link-play
