Mesut Özil 7

Özil came on for Torreira at half-time, and it didn’t take him long to create a couple of good chances for Mkhitaryan. He could’ve done better with a couple of shots of his own though, finding space in the box nicely but not quite connecting with the finishes.

Matteo Guendouzi 6

Guendouzi added some energy in midfield, and he played some nice forward thinking passes. However, he also kicked a five-yard pass straight off the pitch at one point, and he should’ve chipped Özil in for a second goal late on.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles 8

Maitland-Niles was rested from the start, after playing a lot of games recently, but there’s no doubt he’s been performing well in general. That was the case again in the final 20 minutes, as he supported the attack well and made a vital block at the other end after Gray rounded Leno.
