Player Ratings: Arsenal’s Performance Reviewed

omidbasir- **David Raya (7/10):**
Raya made an impressive save to deny Thiago’s close-range header, especially after his own poor throw-out had initially put Arsenal in a vulnerable position. He faced consistent pressure from set-pieces throughout the match.

**Jurrien Timber (6/10):**
Timber was generally reliable defensively but struggled to make a significant impact in the attacking phase of the game.

**Cristhian Mosquera (6/10):**
Stepping in for Saliba, Mosquera performed commendably, maintaining his solid form whenever called upon. He delivered a crucial late block to thwart Thiago’s efforts.

**Gabriel Magalhaes (8/10):**
Magalhaes engaged in a physical contest with Thiago, receiving an early booking yet showcasing resilience throughout the match. He executed several excellent blocks to aid the defense.

**Piero Hincapie (7/10):**
Hincapie made several promising runs down the left flank, contributing dangerous crosses, including the assist for Madueke’s goal.

**Martin Zubimendi (6/10):**
Zubimendi was precise and composed but lacked his usual influential presence in the midfield.

**Declan Rice (7/10):**
Rice stood out as Arsenal’s top performer during a lackluster first half, although he missed a crucial opportunity set up by Odegaard when the score was still 1-0.

**Eberechi Eze (3/10):**
Eze had a disappointing night, failing to capitalize on a significant opportunity due to Havertz’s injury. He struggled to make an impact in the game and was substituted at half-time, appearing to lack confidence.

**Noni Madueke (7/10):**
Madueke delivered an exceptional header to break the deadlock in the second half, marking a moment of brilliance despite having a quiet game prior to that.

**Viktor Gyokeres (6/10):**
Gyokeres put in a commendable effort against a robust Brentford defense but found it challenging to create goal-scoring opportunities for himself.

**Leandro Trossard (5/10):**
Following an impressive performance against Sunderland, Trossard struggled to replicate that form, contributing only sporadically to the team’s efforts.

**Martin Odegaard (6/10):**
Odegaard’s introduction at half-time coincided with Arsenal’s most productive phase of the match; however, he allowed Lewis-Potter to break free for the equalizer.

**Bukayo Saka (5/10):**
Saka did not significantly impact the game after coming on to replace Madueke.

**Gabriel Martinelli (5/10):**
Martinelli squandered a crucial opportunity to secure a victory late in the match.

**Riccardo Calafiori (N/A):**
Calafiori was introduced late in the game to replace Hincapie.

**Mikel Arteta (6/10):**
Arteta’s preparations were undoubtedly affected by the absences of Havertz and Saliba. However, he may feel disappointed with the overall performance, as his substitutions did not yield the desired improvement.
