Arsenal player ratings v Man Utd – No player gets more than a six
Today at 02:00 PM
Manchester United eliminated Arsenal from the FA Cup with a 5-3 penalty shootout win after a 1-1 draw in normal time. Here are our Arsenal player ratings:
David Raya – 6.0
Had little chance with Bruno Fernandes' goal and made at least one outstanding save. However, his inability to save any penalties in the shootout was disappointing.
Jurrien Timber – 5.0
Struggled to provide much in attack and was kept in check by Diogo Dalot for large parts of the game.
William Saliba – 6.0
Solid defensively, limiting United's chances, but Arsenal's vulnerability on the counter left him exposed at times.
Gabriel Magalhães – 6.0
Scored Arsenal's equaliser and was reliable defensively for the most part. However, his slip proved costly and allowed United to take the lead.
Myles Lewis-Skelly – 6.0
A composed performance from the young full-back, who handled Garnacho's threat well throughout.
Mikel Merino – 4.5
Signed for his ability to shine in big matches, but this was not one of those days. A quiet performance with little impact.
Jorginho – 6.0
Brought calmness and stability to the midfield and helped Arsenal dominate possession but lacked a cutting edge in key moments.
Martin Odegaard – 6.0
Missed a crucial penalty in regular time, however, he did show some glimpses of what he is capable of but when it really mattered he was found wanting.
Gabriel Jesus – 5.5
Started brightly but had to leave the pitch due to a serious-looking injury, which was a huge blow for Arsenal.
Kai Havertz – 2.5
A nightmare outing for the German. Missed multiple clear chances and failed to convert his penalty in the shootout. A performance to forget.
Gabriel Martinelli – 4.0
Played the full game but was largely ineffective, even after United went down to ten men. Arsenal's attack looked blunt with him leading the charge.
Substitutes
Raheem Sterling – 4.5
Energetic after replacing Jesus, but his end product was missing when Arsenal needed it most.
Declan Rice – 6.0
Had several chances to score but failed to capitalise. His relentless work rate and drive to push the team forward stood out.
Leandro Trossard – 5.0
Came on in extra time but couldn't influence the game or unlock United's ten-man defence.
Thomas Partey – 5.0
Brought urgency and intensity to Arsenal's play when introduced, but it wasn't enough to find a winner.
Kieran Tierney – N/A
Had too little time on the pitch to make a meaningful contribution.
