Verdict
John Hutchinson of SunSport said: “Arsenal gave enthusiasts what they were looking to see, a first start for forty-five million pounds by signing Thomas Partey in midfield.
“But there was also something they didn’t need to see on screen: some other defensive display of terror.
And once again, questions will be asked about why Emiliano Martinez allowed himself to leave while Bernd Leno committed a clanger.
“First for good, apart from the undefeated 2-1 victory. Partey showed in a few minutes what he’ll bring to the Gunners’ fold.
“Rarely, or never, did he lose the ball. He was constantly impatient and if he didn’t check a defensive pass, he would jump forward.
Subs
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (in Nketiah position, 61) – 8
He immediately sought to bring his appearance to life and nevertheless sought to provide a way out for Partey. He served his purpose well.
With the time they spend together, those two can be fatal, but they’ll want the others.
Hector Bellerin (by Cedric, 61) – 7
It wouldn’t have cost much for the guy he replaced and did well to give him some rhythm.
Another big one for the winner.
Joe Willock (in Lacazette’s position, 84) – 6
He seemed reassured when he arrived.
Kieran Tierney (by Saka, 84) – 6
He did what he had to do as an expired submarine.
Reiss Nelson (in Pepe’s position, 4) – 6
Late submarine.
…
Mohamed Elneny – 6
Nothing less than Mesut Ozil – who watches from home – to be among the goal scorers.
This prediction may have been more false. It couldn’t be turned on too much depth.
Saka Bukayo – 6
Quiet for the bands and incredibly lucky to concede a penalty for handball in the 49th minute with a little very nervous defense.
A step back for the 19-year-old who was otherwise looking to grow from game to game.
Eddie Nketiah – 6
Surprisingly calm and lucky to have a yellow moment for breaking into Stojkovic early in the moment period.
Alexandre Lacazette – 6
Another one that’ll be missing everywhere. Totally dented and surpassed by Aubameyang when he entered.
…
Sead Kolasinac – 6
Poor performance, well-controlled demanding situations and did the right thing.
Nicolas Pepe – 6
The game periods have happened to him having some stamp on the game.
Then, in spite of everything, he came to life with a magnificent loose kick in which Luiz nodded.
Thomas Partey – 8
Unsurprisingly, however, he looked ultra alert, either lifting the ball deeply and using it or sniffing it to check its luck on the most sensitive surface.
Owen Hargreaves said in BT Sport that you can say he’s a Champions League player because he seemed “too easy,” and you have to agree.
A stimulus for his full debut.
PLAYER RATINGS
Bernd Leno – 4
He made an early save just to deny Marcel Ritzmaier, but was absolutely guilty of granting at the beginning of the middle of the moment.
Honestly, I didn’t seem to need David Luiz’s pass so close to him, but there was no excuse for that howler.
Cedric – 6
A series of opportunities wasted with their deliveries, adding a corner in the part of the moment that went straight to goal.
He left much to be desired in the third final and failed to accelerate when Arsenal scored a goal.
David Luiz – 6
He well partnered with Gabriel in the baseline, but had an intellectual downdrop with the goal.
Arsenal have attempted fate with their passes close to their purpose so this season and has returned to bite them.
Purchased with a header.
Gabriel – 6
Really forged in the back and read the stage well in front of a team that has a lot of Arsenal behind.
FEET: RAPID VIENNA 1 ARSENAL 2
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang saved Arsenal’s redness with a win in what is expected to be the toughest match of his Europa League group.
The Gunners’ patron intended to spend a well-deserved night until Bernd Leno gave a purpose to his belligerent Austrian parts in the 51st minute.
But Leno’s awkwardness forced Mikel Arteta to turn to Plan B and send the most sensible scorer Auba to save the day.
And the veteran forward did precisely what was needed, taking advantage of Hector Bellerin’s cross in the 74th minute to secure the 3 points.
