Rushworth was also beaten by a scuffed Odegaard shot for the third. 5<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Milan Van Ewijk: Lost the ball for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/arsenal\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arsenal<\/a> opener and his team were up against it after going behind in the 15th minute. 4<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Bobby Thomas: A tough night for the Coventry centre-back, but he did react well to clear when Rushworth parried a shot in the second half. 5<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Aurele Amenda: A big block to deny Bukayo Saka from the edge of the six-yard box in the first half. Tried to battle physically with Havertz but part of a back four that conceded three. 5<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Jay Dasilva: Had a difficult night against Saka, who was on top of his game. One good dribble in the second half. 5<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Matt Grimes: The Coventry captain tried to get on the ball when he could in midfield but was not given any time. 6<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Frank Onyeka: A lot of hard work from Onyeka but unfortunately for him a lot of it was done without the ball. 5<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Caleb Yirenkyi: Tried to give energy to the Coventry midfield but was overpowered by an impressive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/arsenal\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arsenal<\/a> side. Booked for a foul on Lewis-Skelly. 6<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Loum Tchaouna: The winger provided some threat for Coventry on the wing and his speculative acrobatic effort in the first half had Raya panicking for a second. 6<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Brandon Thomas-Asante: Coventry did not have much of the ball so the winger was not able to show much going forward. 5<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Ellis Simms: The striker battled hard against Gabriel and beat him once with a nice piece of skill. 6<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Subs:<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Victor Torp (on 62, Yirenkyi):  The game was over when the midfielder came on. 6<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Taiwo Awoniyi (on 70, Simms): Given a thankless task of leading the line when his side were three goals behind. 5<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Jack Rudoni (on 70, Thomas-Asante): Not any chance to make an impact. 5<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Hamer (on 82, Tchaouna): 5<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Subs not used: Wilson, Sakamoto, Kitching, Latibeaudiere, Eccles. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carl Rushworth: A confident take from an Arsenal corner in the first half, but will be disappointed in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":821483,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-821482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=821482"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821482\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/821483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=821482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=821482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=821482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
