Arsenal player ratings vs Liverpool as Nelson good, but Saka and Havertz can't take chances
Aaron Ramsdale: Relatively untested given Arsenal's dominance, but good when called upon. One really good ball over the top to Nelson and some nice sweeping. A superb low save from Diaz in the second half too. A little poor coming to punch away the free kick for the Liverpool goal though. 6.
Ben White: Defensively switched on throughout. Dealt well with the threat of Nunez, Jota and Gakpo as they took turns to take runs at him. Decent attacking contribution. 6.
William Saliba: A couple of cheap giveaways of the ball but the Frenchman was largely excellent. A superb tackle to stop Nunez in the box that was the highlight of a solid display. 7.
Gabriel: A really solid display. Gave Arsenal the security blanket to go forward an attack with numbers by how effective he was in one-vs-one duels. Good distribution too. 7.
Jakub Kiwior: Looked much more comfortable at left-back than he has done in recent matches as he wasn't asked to invert as much. Very unfortunate to head into his own net beyond Ramsdale. 6.
Jorginho: Solid at the base of the midfield to keep Arsenal possession and control ticking over. Strong in occasional tackles too. Typical display from the Italian. 6.

Declan Rice: Showed real bite and tenacity in the tackle yet again against top opposition. Some good passes up the pitch too. Did well in a more advanced role. 7.
Martin Odegaard: Should have scored his chance in the first half that thundered off the bar but was good aside from that. Some great chance creation and passing in the final third. 7.
Bukayo Saka: Much better than against Fulham.
