Arsenal (4-2-3-1)

GK: Aaron Ramsdale - 6.5/10 - 

RB: Ben White - 6.5/10 - Assist for Xhaka's goal. There surely isn't a better right-back in England this season

CB: William Saliba - 6.5/10 - Powerful but part of a backline that couldn't keep the determined Saints out 

CB: Gabriel - 6.5/10 - A busy afternoon 

LB: Takehiro Tomiyasu - 6.5/10 - Will be disappointed not to block Elyounoussi's run prior to feeding Armstrong before the equaliser

CM: Thomas Partey - 6.5/10 - Not as influential as he would have liked to have been

CM: Granit Xhaka - 7/10 - An excellent strike to underline just how creative he has been this season

RM: Bukayo Saka - 6.5/10 - Booked for a dive that never was

AM: Martin Odegaard - 6.5/10 - Had a goal disallowed and was replaced by Vieira shortly afterwards

LM: Gabriel Martinelli - 6/10 - Always lively

ST: Gabriel Jesus - 5.5/10 - Arsenal boss Arteta conceded that the former Manchester City striker would be 'disappointed' not to score

SUB: Eddie Nketiah (71' for Martinelli) - 5/10

SUB: Kieran Tierney (71' for White) - 5/10

SUB: Fabio Vieira (83' for Odegaard) - 5/10
