GK: David Raya - 8/10 - Another clean sheet for the Golden Gloves winner
RB: Ben White - 8.5/10 - Tamed the threat of Garnacho. Posted pre-assist for Havertz's ball for Trossard for the winner
CB: William Saliba - 9/10 - Absolutely superb. Became the first player to be named Player of the Match at Anfield, the Etihad and Old Trafford in a single season. How on earth can Didier Deschamps continue to ignore him in Les Bleus first choice backline
CB: Gabriel Magalhaes - 8.5/10 - Commanded the underwhelming Hojlund's from start to finish in another majestic display for the Gunners
LB: Takehiro Tomiyasu - 7.5/10 - Contained Amad with another solid and reliable performance
CM: Thomas Partey - 7/10 - Felt off the pace at times but helped get the Gunners over the line in a vital victory
CM: Declan Rice - 8/10 - Not his best game, but could have scored but for Onana being alert
CM: Martin Odegaard - 5/10 - Sunk into the background of the game and never took control of it, despite United's disadvantages.
RW: Bukayo Saka - 7.5/10 - Faded after a bright start that still contained a number of agricultural challenges from a United team keen to nullify his talent through fair means or foul while channeling their inner Pizzagate
CF: Kai Havertz - 7.5/10 - Yet goal involvement for the reborn former Chelsea man. Worked hard as an outlet up top even if he wasn't as influential as he has been recently.
LW: Leandro Trossard - 8.5/10 - Trossard again ole, ole
