In today’s Arsenal player ratings, we rank the individual performers from the game which finished Everton 0-1 Arsenal.
Arsenal came up against Everton away from home this evening. In gameweek 5 of the Premier League 2023/24 season, Mikel Arteta walked away with 3 points.
This was always going to be a tough fixture for Arsenal. At Goodison Park, they don’t have the best recent history. Even last season during Mikel Arteta’s title charge, he dropped two points against Sean Dyche away from home. In the end, this hoodoo was overturned.

GK: David Raya – 6.5/10
Raya was granted his debut in this match and he justified that decision. A clean sheet on your debut is quite the way to go, but it was his calm and accurate distribution which caught my attention. With Premier League experience, there wasn’t much doubt with Raya between the sticks, but he dealt with the pressure better than expected.
