Willian – 5/10

Willian was, well, meh. He wasn’t exactly awful, but he wasn’t amazing either. He showed a few good bursts in the first half but, unfortunately for Arteta, those bursts tended to be in Arsenal’s half.

If anything, Willian’s lacklustre performance pretty much personified what was a boring Arsenal attacking display.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – 4/10

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was not great. It was the first time he’s played centrally for some time so fans were excited to see how potent to be. Of course, the chances became hindered after the sending off of Pepe, but Aubameyang still didn’t do much throughout the ninety to provide any threat to Leeds.

A quiet performance from Aubameyang, which is becoming annoyingly the occurence this season.

Nicolas Pepe – 2/10

Pepe played a whole first half of football and, well… Some minutes of the second half. His headbutt challenge on the Leeds United defender saw him rightfully sent off. It was a stupid moment of recklessness that saw his game come to an end but, in all honesty, the Ivory Coast international wasn’t providing anything to the match before this. A game to forget for Pepe.
