Who was the top Gunner?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Alisson: It was his error &#8211; a poor pass out &#8211; that led to Havertz giving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/football\/teams\/arsenal\" class=\"ssrcss-1fqyhkk-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arsenal<\/a> the lead. Made a great save to deny Christos Tzolis but that mistake ultimately proved costly. 4<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Ronald Araujo: Made his 12th consecutive start. Battled well as ever but was given a really tough test by Tzolis down <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/football\/teams\/arsenal\" class=\"ssrcss-1fqyhkk-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arsenal<\/a>&#8216;s left. 6<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Jeremy Jacquet: Shaky in patches but had a decent game on the whole and made a superb tackle after slipping in the second half. 6<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Virgil van Dijk: Reliable as ever but will be so disappointed with how easily <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/football\/teams\/liverpool\" class=\"ssrcss-1fqyhkk-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liverpool<\/a> gifted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/football\/teams\/arsenal\" class=\"ssrcss-1fqyhkk-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arsenal<\/a> the lead. 6<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Milos Kerkez: Had a frustrating first half but delivered a lovely cross which Alexis Mac Allister should have headed in. 5<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Trey Nyoni: A real show of faith from Andoni Iraola to give the 19-year-old his first Premier League start. Looked a bit nervy early on but grew into the game. 6<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Alexis Mac Allister: Constantly involved in the first half but will know that he should have scored when Kerkez found him. 6<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Bradley Barcola: Started down his preferred left flank and caused <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/football\/teams\/arsenal\" class=\"ssrcss-1fqyhkk-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arsenal<\/a> plenty of  problems, though he is still waiting for a first Premier League goal. 7<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Florian Wirtz: Hit the bar with a great free-kick in the first half, but a player with his price tag simply has to do more in big games. 6<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Cody Gakpo: Looked lively initially, but Riccardo Calafiori dealt with him very well. Could have had a penalty, but the appeal was waved away by Andy Madley. 5<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Alexander Isak: Got in some good positions but couldn&#8217;t find the net. Unlucky not to get a penalty when his shirt was pulled by Timber. 5<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Subs:<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Szoboszlai (on 59, Nyoni): Back after a spell on the sidelines. 6<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Ngumoha (on 67, Gakpo): Didn&#8217;t get on the ball as much as he would have liked. 5<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Munoz (on 82, Araujo): Tried to make an impact with his pace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Koumas (on 82, Wirtz): Thrown on to add some energy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Tsimikas (on 82, Kerkez): Didn&#8217;t have much luck down the left.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Subs not used: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Endo, Gravenberch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alisson: It was his error &#8211; a poor pass out &#8211; that led to Havertz giving Arsenal the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":821073,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-821072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=821072"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821072\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/821073"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=821072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=821072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=821072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
