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 they also didn’t need to see an exhibition: 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 invincible 2-1 victory. Partey showed in minutes what he’d bring to the Gunners.
“Rarely, if ever, did he lose the ball. He always looked forward and if he didn’t check a defensive pass, he would take a leap 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 looked from home – among the goalpers.
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 otherwise sought to grow from party to match.
Eddie Nketiah – 6
Surprisingly quiet and lucky to have a yellow moment for breaking into Stojkovic at the beginning of 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 picking up the ball deeply and using it in the box or sniffing a possibility on the more 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.
To be fair, it seemed he didn’t need David Luiz’s pass so close to him, but there was no excuse for that howler.
Cedric – 6
A series of waste with his deliveries adding a corner in the second half that went straight for an intentional kick.
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 tried the fate with their passes close to their purpose so this season and have come back 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 striker did precisely what was needed, taking advantage of Hector Bellerin’s center in the 74th minute to secure the three points.

NO RETURN
Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira will remain at Atletico Madrid once his transfer expires at the end of this season.
The Uruguayan joined LaLiga this summer, while Thomas Partey has done the opposite in a forty-five million pound contract.

He told Ovacion: “I have suffered many things, I have had many non-public disorders and more than my entire circle of relatives has also suffered.
“I know it’s been a year.
“But I’ve been here four or five days and it’s a lot because I’ve been treated very well.
“This is a new opportunity in my life, in which I have fought a lot, because Athletic has been one of my dreams, one of my goals as a team.

Mesut Ozil still has several to escape Arsenal even if the European merchant is over.
The 32-year-old has played for the Gunners since March when Mikel Arteta’s team tried to drive the club’s best-paid player out.
But after not reaching a payment deal with the German World Cup winner of $350,000 a week, the striker has stayed out this quarter.
There are a number of punches that can still happen if you relented and left, with mlS being the favorite to have it.
The summer window in the United States would close until the week of August, but due to the coronavirus crisis, it has lasted until October 29.
And DC United is the newest to be connected with a shot for the ace.
Meanwhile, a season in South America can tickle you if you receive a be offer, and Brazilian groups have until November 9th to bring players.
A more likely monetary option may be the middle east laden with money.
PLAN B
FIFA boss Gianni Infantino has refused to accept the assignment of the European Super League, which strikes the plans.
It is said that the world leader Infantino were the plans, drafted through the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, and subsidized through Liverpool and Manchester United.

But Infantino defected from plans, insisting that his sole purpose was to organize the revised and expanded Club World Cup in China in 2022.
Infantino said: “As president of FIFA, I am interested in the Club World Cup, the Super League.
“I’m interested in Bayern opposing Liverpool, but Bayern oppose Boca Juniors in Buenos Aires.
“Liverpool has 180 million enthusiasts worldwide. I’m flaming about a million. Flamengo has 39 of its millions of enthusiasts in Brazil.
“But Liverpool, however, has only five million enthusiasts in England, the remaining 175 million in the world.
