The WhoScored Team of the Week includes Gabriel Jesus, with the Arsenal forward earning a 9.72 rating in their system. With Jesus scoring twice and playing at least some part in all five goals, it’s no surprise that he was included.

Sam Hammond writes that Jesus “inflicted further misery” on Palace after his midweek hat-trick against the same team, suggesting the striker must have secured a starting spot in Mikel Arteta’s side.

Flashscore picked both Declan Rice and Kai Havertz for their side, giving them both ratings of 8.8.

On Rice, Ali Pollock writes that the midfielder made a huge impact coming off the bench, providing a goal and an assist to secure Arsenal’s victory. As for Havertz, he points to the German’s goal and important role in the team. Havertz also won five duels and made three clearances.

Rice made the Sofascore Team of the Week as well, with the app giving him an 8.4 rating. A goal, an assist, 90% pass completed, and 75% duels won all contributed to his score in his 32 minutes on the field.
