Arsenal
Emiliano martinez:
Made a smart early save from Mason Mount to settle any nerves, but given little chance with opening goal and was then not troubled much more as game went on. Showed a calm head during closing stages.

7/10
Scottish full-back supported well on the overlap and helped hold a solid Arsenal rearguard line.
Had struggled to contain Christian Pulisic early on, but grew into the game and was also a threat at set-pieces.
Former Blues defender produced a solid display and stuck to the game plan to help shackle the threat of Olivier Giroud.
Pushed further forwards as a wing-back and his pace was a real outlet on the overlap, but also got back to cover well.
Full of positive energy. Went close with a curling freekick and always keen to get on the ball.
Deployed as left wing-back and got plenty of runs at the high Chelsea defensive line.
Another solid display from the Swiss midfielder, who has reintegrated himself to become an integral part of Mikel Arteta’s side.
Frenchman worked hard in holding the ball up to help bring in support. Few shooting opportunities himself, and was offtarget with a free-kick.
Saw a curling firsthalf effort ruled out for an offside in the build-up. Was a constant outlet in Arsenal’s marauding front three and helped set up the winning goal.
Pierre-emerick aubameyang:
Planted an early header wide, but was ice cool to dispatch a penalty and bring the Gunners level. Produced another brilliant finish to seal victory.
(for Lacazette, 82): Helped freshen up the attack and was full of running for the closing stages.
sokratis Papastathopoulos:
(for Luiz, 88): A late cameo appearance for the Greek defender.
(for Tierney, 103): Full-back’s introduction helped eat up a few seconds.
