The five goals for Arsenal were scored by Gabriel Martinelli, Eddie Nketiah, Cedric Soares, Gabriel and Martin Odegaard. Meanwhile, Everton responded through Donny van de Beek.

Here’s the Arsenal players’ routine:
Goalkeepers and Defensive
Aaron Ramsdale 6/10: not moving much as Arsenal players controlled the game.
Cedric Soares 8/10: actively assists the attack. Score goals and assists.
Rob Holding 6/10: Slightly lulled as Everton score through Donny van de Beek
Gabriel 7/10: just like Holding, he too was carried away when Van de Beek scored. But luckily he paid for all of that with one goal.
