Hilarious moment Mikel Arteta ‘fines’ journalist during press conference

ARSENAL cruised through their Carabao Cup tie at Preston.

The Gunners won 3-0 to set up a home tie against Crystal Palace in the next round.

Sun Sport’s Sam Dymond reveals who has done enough to feature in the quarter final – and who might be a bit worried.

Tommy Setford – 6

A clean sheet on debut for the teenager. After a quiet first half, he looked nervous when put under pressure by Preston’s forward.

Jurrien Timber – 7

Really looking the part in the Arsenal defence after injury. His crosses caused chaos before being replaced at half-time

William Saliba – 7

Settled back into the side after suspension, and was rarely troubled on a night where he continually swept up possession.

Jakub Kiwior – 8

Partnered Saliba admirably in defence, but showed his attacking worth by providing two assists.

Oleksandr Zinchenko – 7

A solid display before his removal on the hour, perhaps with one eye on the weekend.

Jorginho – 7

Kept things moving in midfield, and even showed off some sublime skill when the opportunity arose.

Mikel Merino – 7

A much more confident performance from the Spaniard following his goal on Sunday. Combined well with Martinelli and Nwaneri during the opening 45 minutes.

Ethan Nwaneri – 9

Serenaded by the Arsenal fans as ‘one of their own’, this talented teenager once again excited Gooners everywhere.

The scorer of one sublime strike, he came so close to bagging a second goal too.

Raheem Sterling – 7

The Carabao Cup king did everything but score. Perhaps let down by his decision making, he’s looking more at home at Arsenal than he ever did at Chelsea.

Gabriel Jesus – 8

Constantly alive to the ball inside the box, he was rewarded with a first goal since January to get the scoring underway.

Gabriel Martinelli – 8

Often Arsenal’s biggest attacking threat with his direct running and ability to beat defenders. Replaced after taking a couple of heavy knocks.

Subs

Thomas Partey – 6

Replaced Timber at the break and once again did the job asked of him with few complaints.

Kai Havertz – 8

Scored a superb header shortly after his arrival as a half-time sub, and was an imposing figure in both penalty areas.

Bukayo Saka – 6

More minutes in the legs for the Arsenal star as he continues the recovery from his hamstring injury.

Myles Lewis-Skelly – 6

Misplaced a couple of passes after his introduction, but fits in well among the first-team squad.

Ayden Heaven – 6

Offered a glimpse of genuine pace as he made his senior debut for the final ten minutes.
