Arsenal keeper Ramsdale looked nervous early on, making two mistakes which nearly led to a Liverpool goal. But he soon gained his footing in the match and even made a good late save.

Cedric Soares - N/A

He lasted only 11 minutes into the match as an injury ended his night prematurely.

---

Ben White - 8.5/10

Gabriel - 7/10

He held his ground well against Liverpool's high press, making five clearances and two interceptions, though he got ahead of himself at times. Gabriel was also booked in the 72nd minute.

Kieran Tierney - 6.5/10

The Scotsman couldn't exert his usual attacking influence but came up trumps defensively. Tierney made four clearances, one block and an interception to help Arsenal keep a clean sheet.

Gabriel Martinelli - 6/10

The Brazilian struggled to replicate his usual form on the night, failing to muster a single shot on goal.
