AMR: Jack Wilshere – 6.5/10
Has been in excellent summer form for both club and country. Could not get a goal or assist to his name, but showed a real hunger to get on the ball. Was on the end of a couple of thumping tackles.
AML: Jeff Reine-Adelaide – 8/10
An eye-catching full debut from the 17-year-old, who has a remarkable physical presence for such a young player, and a great touch too. Provided Walcott with the game’s only goal. One to watch.
ST: Theo Walcott – 7.5/10
Walcott was Arsenal’s match-winner, scoring his sixth goal in five game on 50 minutes to further stake his claim for an opportunity through the middle when the Premier League season comes around.
