MATHEW RYAN 8

Couple of nervous moments early on with ball at his feet but then used them to keep out Willock’s header. Couldn’t get to Lacazette’s header but crucial late save from Martinell.

STEVEN ALZATE 8

Found plenty of space and showed some classy touches against a club renowned for appreciating skilful players. But also wasted a great position after getting into box in second half.

ADAM WEBSTER 8

Header from a first-half corner brought a routine save but no stopping his strike from centre of area after coming up for another.

LEWIS DUNK 8

Assured in central defence but didn’t see the probing long range passes he is capable of. Another composed display from the skipper as Albion stood strong.

DAN BURN 7

His header at the corner was pivotal in the opening goal. Towered over lively sub Pepe on occasions in second half.

DALE STEPHENS 7

Broke up play and linked up well while his clever chip almost led to Connolly winning a penalty. Picked some holes in Gunners’ backline.

DAVY PROPPER 7

Another on target attempt in first half as he continues to threaten a first goal. Wasted good chance to play Connolly in with a heavy pass but helped wrestle control back after Arsenal's bright start to second half.

PASCAL GROSS 7

Was living dangerously as he held on to Lacazette at a couple of early corners. Some good set-piece deliveries though. Booked for a very deliberate handball.

AARON MOOY 9

Imposing performance, especially after the break. Unlucky not to score with a header coming in at far post then provided the cross for Maupay to grab the winner

AARON CONNOLLY 7

Loads of energetic, darting runs. Pulled back by Bellerin just outside of box as he claimed a penalty. Failed to put Maupay in on goal and sometimes needs to look for the supporting runners.

NEAL MAUPAY 8

Forced decent save with a swerving left-foot strike and could have been released by Connolly when clear. Superbly steered home header from Mooy cross.
