Arsenal player ratings vs Brighton as Martin Odegaard outstanding and Kai Havertz superb

David Raya: Barely had a thing to do all day as Arsenal were near-totally dominant. Did spill a Simon Adingra cross but got away with it. 6.

Ben White: A much better performance from the England international. His offensive contribution was good, while he was solid defensively. Did receive a yellow after switching off though. 6

William Saliba: A few moments where he looked a little unfocused when Brighton threatened to attack. Generally very good though and made one superbly judged tackle in the penalty box. 6.

Gabriel: Excellent throughout. Evan Ferguson is one of the best young strikers in the Premier League but he barely gave him a sniff. His distribution was brilliant when called upon as well. 8.

Oleksandr Zinchenko: Calm on the ball for the most part and remained patient as Arsenal exerted their dominance. Some probing runs through the middle helped open spaces and he was decent defensively. 6.

Declan Rice: Solid enough at the base of the midfield to allow Arsenal to keep their dominance up. A good threat at the near post from corners too. Almost goes without saying how good he is at this point. 8.
