Alexandre Lacazette – 7. Scored Arsenal’s first goal of the season and they won’t come any simpler than this tap-in. Had a few other chances he perhaps could’ve done better with. Reuters

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – 8. Scored the third with a fine, curling finish into the top corner. Was a constant menace. EPA

Dani Ceballos (79’) – 7. Only on the pitch for 11 minutes but still displayed his class. Fulham will be grateful the Spaniard didn’t start. AFP
