Calvert-Lewin Gets 7.5, Gray With 5.5 | Everton Players Rated In Poor Loss Vs Arsenal | OneFootball

Everton faced off against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium earlier today as they hoped to end the season on a high by picking up a result on the road. The Toffees made a lackluster start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 27th minute when Gabriel Martinelli scored from the penalty spot. Eddie Nketiah doubled the home side’s advantage just four minutes later. However, Everton got a goal back in the first half injury-time when Donny van de Beek found the back of the net. The Toffees were trailing 2-1 at half-time.

Frank Lampard’s men were atrocious in the second half as they shipped in three more times courtesy of a goal each from Cedric Soares, Gabriel and Martin Odegaard respectively. The contest ended with the Merseyside outfit suffering a poor 5-1 loss in the English capital.

Let’s take a look at how each Everton player fared during the match against the Gunners.

GK: Asmir Begovic – 6.5/10

Begovic made a few decent saves at the back to keep the scoreline down.

RB: Alex Iwobi – 5.5/10

He made a few crucial clearances and had two lively moments going forward. However, Iwobi got exposed defensively while acting as a right-back.

CB: Mason Holgate – 6/10

The English defensive ace got stuck in with some solid tackles but couldn’t stop Arsenal from wreaking havoc in the second half.

CB: Michael Keane – 5.5/10

He was not shy of a tackle as well but looked shaky at the back during the 90 minutes.

CB: Jarrad Branthwaite – 6/10

Branthwaite was strong in the air and cleared the danger well at times. However, he couldn’t stop the opposition from scoring five goals today.
