Arsenal were held to a 2–2 draw by Crystal Palace at the Emirates last night. Below are the player ratings following the match.
David Raya – 6.5
Conceded twice on a demanding evening, with limited support from his defenders.
Jurrien Timber – 7.0
Faced persistent pressure from Tyrick Mitchell and Eberechi Eze but coped admirably in his defensive duties.
William Saliba – 5.5
Was performing well until a careless pass allowed Palace to equalise and cost Arsenal their lead.
Jakub Kiwior – 7.0
Maintained his excellent form and opened the scoring with a composed finish.
Myles Lewis-Skelly – 6.0
Not his finest performance in an Arsenal shirt, though he was not the weakest player on the pitch.
Declan Rice – 6.0
A relatively subdued display from the midfielder, who has otherwise impressed in recent weeks.
Thomas Partey – 5.5
Failed to replicate his Champions League form and allowed Adam Wharton too much influence in midfield.
Martin Odegaard – 6.5
Assisted the opening goal and will be key for Arsenal in their upcoming clash against PSG.
Gabriel Martinelli – 6.5
Lively throughout and had a goal disallowed after the ball had already gone out for a goal kick.
Leandro Trossard – 7.5
Delivered another strong performance and continues to give Arsenal reasons to retain him beyond the current campaign.
Raheem Sterling – 6.0
Missed opportunities again, and his exit from the club feels increasingly inevitable.
Substitutes
Bukayo Saka – 5.5
Came off the bench but failed to make a meaningful impact.
Ethan Nwaneri – N/A
Kieran Tierney – N/A
