Leno - 7 Hard to think of a note to make. I’m sure he’ll love that. Protected excellently by his defenders . His passing was good, got rid quicker than he typically does
Excellent use of the face late on
. Need a bit of luck when you haven’t beaten top 6 away in half a decade

Heccy B - 7 Flashed a great cross that Auba nearly met. Found some good spaces to join attack, did most of his defensive duties well. A couple lapses of concentration if I’m being harsh. Generally quite good. Very smart run in behind to win the pen that decided the match.
Holding - 8 Seems balder and better at football every match. Really embodying the experienced center back
Found himself wrestling with pogba frequently and did it very well. He was a surprise selection given his recent injury. How lucky we were, he was fantastic. #Arsenal

Gabriel - 8.5 Excellent positional awareness to show united offsides in their early opportunities. Tasked with marking the forward who came short for the ball. Once got done by Greenwood but it was great skill. What a tackle on Matic. Absolutely immense in the final 10 mins #COYG
KT - 7.5 Solid up and down. United looked tough attack his flank and they rarely had a sniff. Had a moment where he made a mess of a header, lucky not to be punished. Very solid after a few tough weeks #Arsenal #MUNARS
Elneny - 8.5 MOTM. Pyramid Pirlo becoming less of a joke and more plain facts. Really playing excellently. Incredibly useful player playing out the back. Always happy to receive w/ a player on his back, strokes his passes crisply. A number of great dribbles and advancing passes
Partey - 8.5 Bossed it. A 30 yard run and meg that I’m sure we’ll see aplenty in comps. Wonderful vision in his pass, able to scoop to some delicious last minute passes. Had a strike from 25 that stung de gea’s hands. Arguably MOTM as well. #Arsenal #Partey
Saka - 7.5 Very tidy. Had a headed chance that he’ll surely rue, looked to guide it as opposed to going back across the keeper. Some of his combination was a bit lower than the level he’s capable of. Helped KT in defense to great effect. #Saka #COYG
Willian - 5.5 Torrid start. Must have given the ball away a half dozen times in the first half. Understand tho why Arteta appreciates his simple play, it makes for smooth passages at times, like when he Clipped the bar. Pepe needs to figure out how to play to artetas liking ASAP.
Laca - 6 Decent if we’re being objective. Good when we had possession. Frustrating when we were on the break. He gets to the box and then is too gassed to make the final change of direction run. Gives little option on the cross. #Arsenal
Auba - 7 Was noticeably 5 yards closer to lacazette than normally in the first half, really enjoyed that when we had possession. Lethal penalty, love that he smashes them now, unsaveable. Sealed the points. Looked like a huge weight off his shoulders. GET INNN #Auba

Closing thoughts: A performance that was similar to the Leicester match which is why it’s silly to be so reactionary. As important as the points are, they’re decided by very fine margins. Thrilled w/ the result, massively important for the season. Upwards and onwards #MUNARS
