David Raya (7/10):
Didn’t really have a great deal to do for the first hour, and then could do little about Brighton’s goal. But made a world-class stop to deny Minteh late on.
Declan Rice (7/10):
Playing in an unfamiliar right-back role, the midfielder played his part in the build-up to Odegaard’s goal and then his corner led to Arsenal’s second. Did a solid job once again for his team in an energetic display.
William Saliba (6/10):
The Frenchman had no real howlers but didn’t excel in Arsenal’s backline, either. Will be glad to have centre-back partner Gabriel Magalhaes back alongside him.
Piero Hincapie (7/10):
The summer signing has been a solid addition for Arsenal and didn’t do much wrong, both at centre-back and left-back against Brighton.
Myles Lewis-Skelly (5/10):
On his first Premier League start of the season, partly due to Riccardo Calafiori’s withdrawal from the warm-up, he did not do a great deal. It was telling that Arteta chose to take off the left-back, move Hincapie to that position, and bring on Gabriel instead.
