How Albion players rated in the win at Arsenal.

ROBERT SANCHEZ 8/10

Really came into his own in the second half with some commanding high claims and a superb save late on. Might even have got a touch on the Odegaard free-kick too.

JOEL VELTMAN 8/10

It soon became clear Albion would need a strong display from the reliable Dutchman and he produced exactly that. Shows patience, know-how and composure in his defending. 

LEWIS DUNK 8/10

A huge performance in central defence. Made a couple of possibly goal-saving blocks, one in each half, and won headers. Had to hurry but his ball down the right released Mwepu for the first goal.

The Argus:

MARC CUCURELLA 9/10

Always an asset out wide but is also a strong defender in more central areas, as he showed with protection of his far post late in the first half and with a block of an Nketiah header in the frantic finale.

PASCAL GROSS 7/10

A dependable man for a specific job, which included tactical discipline and ability to keep the ball. Found himself exposed out wide late on.

YVES BISSOUMA 8/10

A very effective midfield performance as Albion blocked Arsenal’s passing options and made themselves really hard to play through.

MOISES CAICEDO 8/10

Looked very much at home on his Premier League debut. Physically competitive, mobile and good on the ball – and he saw the chance to surge forward and play a big part in the winning goal.

ENOCK MWEPU 9/10

Played a huge part on both goals, showing great technique, control and appreciation of what was going on around him both with the cutback for Trossard and the precise half-volley finish. He also does a lot of good work all around the park.

ALEXIS MAC ALLISTER 7/10

Involved in the move for the winner. Was perhaps quieter than in some games but played his part in the team plan.

The Argus:

LEANDRO TROSSARD 8/10

A week after Albion had quantity rather than quality of shots, he produced a perfectly controlled, cleanly hit finish to set the ball rolling. Started very wide on the left and did well on the ball.

DANNY WELBECK 7/10

Led the attack and, while he had no sniff of goal, helped others play as he looked to occupy the Arsenal defenders.

SUBS – ADAM LALLANA N/A

Presumably sent on with the aim of helping Albion retain possession and some control but it did not really work like that.

TARIQ LAMPTEY N/A

A late role in wide areas on both right and left.

ADAM WEBSTER N/A

A late return to action saw him competing in the air with Aaron Ramsdale as the home keeper ventured forward at corners.
