Arsenal ran out 2-0 winners against Napoli in the Europa League quarter-final first leg on Thursday night but they should have scored a lot more and killed the tie in this first leg.

Sead Kolasinac 6

A lot of Arsenal’s attacks seemed to break down when the ball got to him and he picked the wrong option but he won more tackles than any of his teammates.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles 8

Superb evening from Ainsley who was a completely different player than the one who struggled at Everton at the weekend. Got an assist.

Lucas Torreira 8

How great was it to have him back in the middle of the park? I don’t care what UEFA say, it’s his goal…. no matter how wide it was going!

Aaron Ramsey 8.5

Sigh. Every goal is so bittersweet and, as Aaron Ramsey’s farewell tour heads into the final stretch regret is being piled upon regret as we get ready to lose one of our best players for nothing.
