Arsenal's best and worst players in 4-1 hammering at Man City
Arsenal slumped to a fourth consecutive Premier League game without a win, seeing their title hopes crumble further with a 4-1 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
The Gunners fell behind to an early Kevin De Bruyne goal and never recovered, with John Stones doubled City's lead and then De Bruyne ended the game as a contest inside an hour. Rob Holding did pull one back for Arsenal, but it was too little too late and Erling Haaland actually scored an even later one to rack up his 49th goal of the season in all competitions.
Here's the best and worst players for Arsenal in the Etihad defeat, according to 90min's own player ratings from the game.

Arsenal best player vs Man City
Aaron Ramsdale: 8/10
Pure and simple, this game would have been utterly embarrassing for Arsenal without their goalkeeper in the form that he was.
Ramsdale didn't actually have the best start, pushing the ball into a dangerous area as he tried to parry a cross to safety. But, from then on, the England international made save after save to keep Haaland at bay in particular. On another night, City's number nine could have had a hat-trick or more.
Plenty of Arsenal players need to look at their performance here, but not Ramsdale.

Gabriel: 3/10
A handful of Arsenal players could have had this title. Bukayo Saka was more or less anonymous, while Gabriel Martinelli was similarly out of it. But Gabriel's poor performance at the back set the tone.
The Brazilian has earned rave reviews for most of the campaign - with some saying he's been better than William Saliba - but this wasn't his night.
Gabriel was left in Kevin De Bruyne's dust as the Belgian, a player not known for pace, burst through and fired City into an early lead. He also didn't command the situation when John Stones doubled that lead, allowing the City player to create an overload at the back-post behind him and lazily throwing his arm up in the air to appeal for offside instead. Other mistakes led to other chances.
