Arsenal player ratings vs Chelsea as Rice outstanding and Havertz haunts old club
David Raya: Surprisingly busy given the scoreline. In the first half made some smart saves to keep out Jackson and the deflection off Gabriel. Stayed switched on in the second period too. 7
Ben White: Two in a game?! The first one is well taken, for the second one he looks as surprised as anybody. Fully deserved for Ben White for his brilliant and consistent attacking play all season. 9.

Takehiro Tomiyasu: Fit to start this game after missing out at Wolves. Looked really good. Impressive on the ball and solid as ever in his one-vs-one defending. 8.
