Some players played better than others but in the main, it was another solid showing all around as our player ratings show here.

Who was your Man of the Match against Fulham?

Arsenal player ratings v Fulham as Bukayo Saka shines

David Raya – 6

The Spaniard had little to do throughout as Fulham only managed a single shot on target all game.

Ben White – 6

A solid enough display from the England man who was rarely troubled by Fulham’s attack.

William Saliba – 7

The man just oozes class and he once again bossed things at the back without even breaking sweat.

Gabriel – 7

Alongside Saliba’s class, Gabriel’s bullish and aggressive defending never allowed the away side a sniff.

Riccardo Calafiori – 7

Had a goal disallowed but showed just how Arsenal have missed him in recent weeks. Must start when Atletico visit.

Declan Rice – 7

Another assured display from Rice who will have been disappointed not to get on the scoresheet against a Fulham side all over the place.

Myles Lewis-Skelly – 8

An impressive performance from the youngster in the middle of the park. Gives Mikel Arteta food for thought and could light a fire under Martin Zubimendi too.

Eberechi Eze – 6

Quiet by his standards but Eze still played a part in Arsenal’s goals. Always a threat but looked like he was holding back a touch.

Bukayo Saka – 9 (MOTM)

What can we say about Saka? He is the difference maker in this Arsenal team and his return to form and fitness is a timely boost for the Gunners.

Leandro Trossard – 8

Didn’t get his goal but did set up Gyokeres for the third and was a constant threat. He might move on in the summer but Trossard showed just why Arteta plays him here.

Viktor Gyokeres – 9

A performance that Arsenal fans have been wanting for some time. Gyokeres dominated Fulham’s backline and was on hand to score the goals Arsenal need. A huge confidence boost ahead of next week.
