Did you know?

La Lente trivia questions about this match. Tap one to see the answer.

Which Arsenal player won the most aerial duels?

Kai Havertz, with 8 aerial duels won. Next: Thomas Partey 2, William Saliba 1.

Havertz won 8 aerial duels for Arsenal, well above Partey on 2 and Saliba on 1. His dominance in the air served as an essential release valve in the 0–1 win.

Which Tottenham Hotspur player played the most passes leading to a shot?

Pedro Porro, with 4 key passes. Next: James Maddison 2, Heung-min Son 1.

Porro led Tottenham with 4 key passes, doubling Maddison on 2 and Son on 1. His frequent service into dangerous zones could not change the 0–1 scoreline.

How is the rating calculated?

The rating measures a single match: what the player produced against what they cost, compared with the average for their position in that league and season, and adjusted by position (a 70 for a forward is as hard to get as a 70 for a defender). A normal match is around 50, 70 is already very good and only one in a hundred goes above 80. It is not the NVP, which ranks the whole season.
