Arsenal player ratings vs Bournemouth as Bukayo Saka steps up and Kai Havertz good again
David Raya: Hardly called upon in the first but good when needed more often in the second. Did seem to get out of jail with the Bournemouth disallowed goal. 6.
Ben White: Got forward well yet again. Combining so well with Saka and Odegaard at the moment. Defensively solid as ever against a tricky customer in Kluivert. 7.

Gabriel: Looked a little nervy today. A few sloppy moments when dealing with Solanke that could have been punished. A little weak for the Bournemouth goal that probably should have stood too. An absolutely cracking strike ruled out for offside. 5.
Takehiro Tomiyasu: Another really solid display at left back from Tomiyasu. Fitness providing the position seems to be his for the rest of the season. 7.
