Losers
Haaland: Haaland had a lackluster performance, failing to trouble Arsenal's defense and squandering a crucial opportunity in the 84th minute.
Bukayo Saka: Arsenal's offensive weapon was largely ineffective, struggling with inaccurate passes and eventually exiting the match due to injury in the final 15 minutes.
