Saka 7, Martinelli 5.5: rating Arsenal players in Newcastle draw

White - 7

Solid defensively, had a good physical battle with Joelinton.

Gabriel - 7

Went close to scoring in the first half. Seems to be the best Arsenal centre-back in recent games.

Partey - 7

Good both off and on the ball.

Saka - 7

Got the better of Dan Burn on his wing but did not get too many chances to show off his speed.

Nketiah - 7

Good link-up play, solid defensive work. Had a chance to beat Pope int he final minutes, but his shot was saved.

Martinelli - 5.5

Probably, the only Arsenal player who struggled personally, was dealt with by Trippier. Could've scored after a corner, though.

The rest: Ramsdale - 6, Saliba - 6, Zinchenko - 6, Xhaka - 6, Odegaard - 6, Tomiyasu - n/a
