Arsenal player ratings vs Luton as Emile Smith Rowe shines, Partey good, Nelson below par
David Raya: Largely untested on the night, but was ready when called upon. Some solid playing from the back. A focused display. Exactly what's needed on nights like these. 6.
Ben White: Another impressive display from White. His level is so consistent that it's becoming hard to write about every three days! Defended well and contributed offensively again. 7.
William Saliba: Different kind of defending from Manchester City at the weekend, but still assured for the most part. One nice moment in the second half to dribble away from pressure. 6.

Oleksandr Zinchenko: A typical Zinchenko game really on his return to the side. Looked really assured on the ball for the most part and took the initiative to play Arsenal out from the back. A couple of risky giveaways, though. The classic risk and reward that the Ukrainian brings. 6.
Thomas Partey: Did a decent job at the base of the midfield. Lots of balls over the top in behind that were threatening. Looks to be getting better with each match he plays back from injury. 7.
