Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – 8/10
He didn’t make the starting eleven due to his illness throughout the week, but you couldn’t tell by his impressive cameo. He came on and instantly made an impact, making Arsenal’s attacking play tick. He scored a brace, and took his tally for the season up. He has had a better goal scoring start in London than both Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp, so that’s quite a feat to have.
Aaron Ramsey – 8/10

Honestly, that was probably the best team goal I’ve seen since Wilshere’s against Norwich. Ramsey started it all of by a fine flick, which was then matched by Hector Bellerin. Things soon progressed, and a fizzed ball by Aubameyang found the feet of Ramsey, who then flicked the ball behind him to hit the far post and find the net.
His wife is expecting twins at any moment, so that’s a story to tell them when they grow up. Let’s hope the contract is still available, or is that wishful thinking?
Matteo Guendouzi – N/A
He got ten minutes of action towards the end. but unfortunately he didn’t see enough of the ball to warrant a fair rating. Still, he did nothing to tarnish his chances of first team football.
Unai Emery – 9/10
This was Arsenal’s best performance under their new manager. I could see his philosophy being implemented, and shades of Wenger’s fast-passing style could be seen. That’s nine wins on the bounce now, as the Gunners find themselves in the top four. Alexa, play Hate to say I told you so…
What did you make of Arsenal’s performance away at Fulham?
