Arsenal Player Ratings: Vitoria (A)

Arsenal once again blew their lead as they held Vitoria to a 1-1 draw away in Portugal in the Europa League group-stage matchday four.

Shkodran Mustafi scored for the Gunners, but they were pegged back by a stoppage-time goal from Bruno Duarte.

Coming back to the game, the first half totally belonged to the home side, where they struck the bar through Pepe, and Emiliano Martinez had to make a couple of decent saves to keep the score level.

Arsenal came back into it more in the second half without having enough cutting edge in their game. Vitoria kept on creating good chances of their own.

Eventually, in the 80th minute, a Nicolas Pepe set-piece directed towards Mustafi worked as the German rose highest to head in at the far post to give Arsenal the lead.

However, the lead didn’t last long as Duarte’s acrobatic found the net in the 91st minute to get Vitoria a deserving point.

Here’s how we rated the Arsenal players:
