First half goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka were enough for Arsenal to take three points against PSG at the Emirates this evening.
The Gunners produced a really professional European performance to beat last season’s semi-finalists, and could have added more to the tally. The visitors had occasional moments, but were mostly held at arm’s length my Mikel Arteta’s men.
Here’s how the players rated this evening.

Believe this is now the 3rd consecutive game where I’m pleased with Partey.
Let’s hope this continues.
Agreed w/ Jesus but feel he will be great again after the interlull!
Jesus has got a semi permanent “I can smell cat shit but I’m not sure where it is” expression at the moment.
My money would be on Donnarumma pants.
I just think lads lost bit of faith in him too, alot of talk , oh we never needed a new 9, I think we do not as a kai replacement but as a jesus one .
Jesus is winger at best but whether it’s his knees or run of games , it’s not happening for him .
Dont write him off just yet! The season is long and has a role to play! We need to back the team! This is our season
TP5 is back to proper fitness and looks better with each passing game. He is so important to how we play both defensively and offensively with his forward passes between the lines. We immediately missed his presence when he went off. Been pretty amazed at some of stick he has been getting. Wonderful player.
What a defence to be proud of. And Arteta has been proved right to persist with Partey who was the boss tonight at the base of midfield.
Bonus: Seeing Bobby Pires in the stands looking young as ever!
Partey’s best game for years.
Partey played well
Timber reminds me of Lauren while Calafiori, for some reason, Robert Pires
Same hairdresser as Bobby?
The way he shoots, too 😂
That’s a great shout. They both almost cringe when striking the ball don’t they, sorta withdraw into themselves almost. I’ll never unsee that now!
Billy Carpenter wrote last week that we’re still coming to appreciate just how incredible the summer of ‘23 transfer window was. So true. Rice, Havertz, Raya, Timber. Amazing business.
I’m so pleased we’re winning games but the second half performances need to improve. A bit more dominance is good for the nerves 🙂
Some of Raya’s long kicks are just incredible, almost had a brilliant assist to Martinelli, then later found Trossard I think with a pinpoint long kick to the sideline in the middle of their half, right to our player’s feet. He also claims every cross he could possibly claim, inspires calmness, makes great saves… I honestly wasn’t convinced by him even by the end of last season, but judging by recent form he’s literally been one of the best keepers in the world.
My my what strong fullbacks we have. Every game I find this back line more enjoyable. Saliba and Big Gabbie just imperious and jolly. Calafiori and Timber marauding up and down the touchline like savannah wildcats. Makes me swoon.
Back 5 were immensely good yet again but Raya is setting new standards altogether, distribution and taking of crosses is different level. All the talk of Donaruma and Courtouis on form this man’s better all-rounder
I reckon Rice is having a quieter season because of the position he’s playing. Although Partey has been really good where he is, and he’s definitely getting better, I believe that’s Rice’s best position, where we see the most from him.
This is 100% true but also, people aren’t talking about what he gives us in that position enough either. How many times in the last few games has he made an interception in the oppositions half and created a dangerous opportunity?
That was comfortable, a bit boring at times, which given the opposition is amazing.
My ratings were almost exactly the same as everyone else’s including Blog’s. Good show one and all, including the Arsenal. Bravo
