Thomas Partey (Lokonga, 84) - Introduced for Lokonga in the 84th minute as Mikel Arteta looked to see out the game.

ARSENAL RATINGS: Matt Turner 7 - Quick to react to danger with Bodo/Glimt looking to play direct over Arsenal’s defence, and made a big stop to deny Amahl Pellegrino in the second half. A solid display.
AP
William Saliba 7 - Looked composed when dealing with pressure and transitioned the ball out from the back impressively. Made it difficult for the Norway Eliteserien side to enjoy success in his zone.
AFP
Rob Holding 6 - Failed to clear his lines in the first half that almost allowed Pellegrino to score, while his positioning could have been better. One of Arsenal’s busier defenders.
AP
Ben White 6 - Held the line well with Saliba and limited chances for the opposition. Replaced in the 70th minute for Takehiro Tomiyasu as Mikel Arteta changed to a back four.
Getty
Kieran Tierney 6 - Didn’t do much going forward but was solid when he was deployed at left-back in the second half. Helped Arsenal move forwards when under pressure by stretching the play. Action Images
Martin Odegaard 7 - A strong performance on home territory as Odegaard returned to Norway with a positive performance from midfield. He was one of Arsenal’s more creative stars on the night.
AP
Albert Sambi Lokonga 8 - Conducted the midfield and contributed at both ends of the pitch. Intricate play with Bukayo Saka helped him register the assist for Arsenal’s opener.
AP
Reiss Nelson 6 - Tried to beat his man down the left-flank and managed to get some crosses into the box. Difficult to deal with. Replaced on the hour-mark by Martinelli. Getty
Fabio Vieira 6 - Kept things simple in midfield and rarely gave away the ball. That’s sometimes what you need in an away game that becomes difficult.

Eddie Nketiah 5 - Has to take more care with some of his link up play, though he was isolated in the second half as Bodo/Glimt enjoyed much more of the possession.
Action Images
SUBS: Granit Xhaka (Saka, 59) 7 - Added more control to the midfield in a spell where Arsenal were beginning to lose the battle. Organised his team well.
Getty
Gabriel Martinelli (Nelson, 59) 6 - Has been in excellent form of late but he wasn’t able to get into any promising positions. Provided an option on the counter-attack.
Action Images
Marquinhos (Odegaard, 70) 5 - Gave away possession on too many occasions that saw promising counter-attacks come to an end. Getty
Takehiro Tomiyasu (White, 70) 6 - Won the battle with his opposite number in a strong performance at right-back. PA
