Regular AT poster BootyDaddy provided the followimg Ratings for Arsenal's 1-0 victory at Palace last night. An important victory as the team played with ten men for the last 30 minutes.
RATINGS
Ramsdale - 7 / Clean sheet and did everything required of him.
Partey - 6 / Gave the ball away a few times which is unlike him. Still not convinced in this RB role and I suspect neither is he.
White - 7 / Seems comfortable where ever he's asked to play.
Saliba - 8 / He really is quality. Made one mistake but put on the after burners to recover and win it back.
Tomi - 5 / Sent off but not really his fault. Both were soft yellows.
Rice - 9 / Outstanding, just ran the show.
Odegaard - 6 / Quiet game, but didn't think he was as bad as everyone made out. A good penalty for the winner.
Havertz - 6 / I actually thought he worked really hard for the team. Still finding his feet and he gives us something different.
Martinelli - 5 / Really poor for his standards. Reminded me a bit like Walcott running around like a headless chicken all night.
Saka - 7 / Palace were doubling and even trebling up on him at times, but still always our main attacking threat.
Nketiah - 6 / Points for working hard and winning us the penalty, but he really does look s.hite a lot of the time. Trying to lob the keeper from 5 yards? Come on.
Subs
Gabriel - 6 / Only on in the 70th minute, but defence looked much more solid when he came on. He needs to be starting.
Jorginho - 6 / Only on in the 79th minute but had a big impact. He organises the midfield brilliantly and things always look calmer with him on the pitch.
Kiwior - 5 / Not on long, helped see it out.
Zinchenko - 5 / As above.
