Arsenal ratings: Captain Saka scores winner but Havertz is sluggish and new signing Zubimendi barely gets a touch
ARSENAL fought their way to a 1-0 win over Italian giants AC Milan thanks to a scuffed Bukayo Saka finish from a Jakub Kiwior cross. The Gunners wore their new away threads as they took on 7 Arteta prepared his team for their first pre-season outing of the season Credit: Getty New signing A quiet opening half brought no goals as Saka broke the deadlock with the game's only goal early in the second half after substitute Kiwior found him at the back post. A ceremonial penalty shootout saw heroics from both keepers, with Milan eventually READ MORE ON ARSENAL Here's how SunSport's Mitchell Hall rated the Gunner's maiden outing of the season ... David Raya - 6 The Spanish stopper had virtually nothing to do in the first half as AC Milan struggled to break into their opponent's half. He was typically calm in possession during the few instances that he had the ball, but it could not have been much easier for him on the day. He was swapped with new arrival Most read in Football Ben White - 6 White slotted into Arteta's back four at right-back, and pulled the strings from the edge of Milan 's defensive third, releasing Saka into dangerous channels on multiple occasions. Some of Milan 's faster counters caught him too high up the pitch, and he struggled to control Rafael Leao without support from his central defenders. Mikel Arteta says his Arsenal squad are eager to win the Premier League title after coming so close last season However, on balance it was a quietly confident showing from the ex-England international. William Saliba -7 The senior voice in the back line in the absence of Milan 's electric forward Leao. For the most part, he did exactly that, turning their duels into a physical battle when possible, and holding his own for pace when it was not. Riccardo Calafiori - 6 Calafiori experienced hot and cold spells in the match from the left centre-back position. The hybrid defender, who can play across the back four, displayed his confidence when launching and joining attacks, but occasionally found himself caught out in transition and forced into tactical fouling. He looked more comfortable when defending in a settled structure, and showed some composure to stand up his man in the box on a few occasions. Oleksandr Zinchenko - 6 Zinchenko arrives into Arsenal 's pre-season run with a point to prove after falling out of favour last campaign. His passing was neat and he made no significant errors, but also failed to stand out in a way that might earn him a promotion within the standings of the squad. On the balance of this match, Zinchenko looks ready to continue his role from last season as a reliable option to turn to if the situation requires it. Christian Norgaard: 5 The The move raised some question marks at the time, but the philosophy was clear on the pitch, with Norgaard holding to give Rice more license to attack. He showed flashes of his ball winning brilliance, but ultimately struggled to keep up with the tricky midfield offerings of Milan before being substituted at half-time. Declan Rice - 6 Rice provided his signature tempo to Arteta's midfield, breaking up Milan's early play and spraying accurate balls around the park in deep areas. His influence on the match seemed to wane as play became increasingly channelled through the wide areas, bypassing the midfielders entirely. A couple of eager tackles higher up the pitch threatened to launch counter attacks through quick passes to Martinelli and Havertz, but his teammates could not capitalise. 7 Ethan Nwaneri left defender Strahinja Pavlovic scrambling with a cheeky spin near the edge of the pitch Credit: Reuters 7 Norgaard struggled to keep up with Milan's midfielders on his debut Credit: AP Ethan Nwaneri - 8 Coming off the back of a break out season, and sporting his new number 22 shirt, the teenager is clearly brimming with confidence. His deft spin past Strahinja Pavlovic twenty minutes in was enough to put a smile on any fan's face, and his turn and volley minutes later was the closest anyone had come to opening the scoring at the time. He was hooked at half-time to make way for Gabriel Martinelli - 5 Martinelli enters pre-season in purgatory after another somewhat underwhelming campaign. He is yet to recapture the His cheeky nutmeg and ball roll trickery in the 42nd minute was a reminder of his quality. However, like for much of last season, he struggled to pull those flashes together into an effective performance, and ultimately failed to impact the game. Bukayo Saka - 9 Saka took the captain's armband in Singapore as he prepared to put last season's intermittent injuries behind him. Perhaps it was this drive that made him the most eager player on the pitch, dropping deep to receive the ball before turning and trying to take on his man, quickly becoming his sides main attacking outlet. He seemed to have the better of teenage full back Davide Bartesaghi, but found it difficult to produce dangerous balls into the box once he had escaped his marker. His confidence bloomed early in the second period, and he finally managed to make his mark in the 53rd minute as he latched onto the cross of substitute Kiwior and scuffed his strike past the goalkeeper. Kai Havertz - 4 Arteta handed Havertz his first start since February after a hamstring injury derailed his end to the season. For all Arsenal's possession, they struggled to work it into dangerous central areas, forcing Havertz to drift wide or risk having the game pass him by. When he did get on the ball, he did not seem quite up to the pace of play. Perhaps his lack of football over recent months has left him sluggish for these early pre-season clashes. SUBS Kepa Arrizabalaga (for Raya 46) - 7 Kepa found himself in much the same situation as his predecessor on the pitch, with there being very little for the stopper to do in normal time. He saved the second, fourth and fifth penalties of the ceremonial shootout, which hints at some justification for his signing from London rivals Jakub Kiwior for (Calafiori 46) - 8 Kiwior made a near instant impact as his perfect teasing ball to the back post found Saka in space. The assist was better than the finish, but they all count. Kiwior has been a peripheral figure in recent seasons, but he couldn't have hoped to be any more impactful than he was on the day with that contribution. Myles Lewis-Skelly (for Zinchenko 46) -6 Arsenal's other breakout youngster, Lewis-Skelly replaced the Ukrainian on the left of Arsenal's back four. He was allowed to drift into central areas from full-back, hinting at an interesting tactical role for him in the coming season under Arteta. Like his predecessor, he made no significant errors, but failed to change the game. 7 Saka broke the deadlock with his 53rd minute strike, a scuffed effort from a Jakub Kiwior cross Credit: Getty 7 Saka and goalkeeper Pietro Terrecianno could only watch as the ball bounced into the net Credit: Getty Martin Zubimendi (for Norgaard 46) - 6 Another debutant, this match was not best suited to showing off Zubimendi's talents in midfield. By the time of his arrival Arsenal were decisively on top, and most of the game was being played between the Gunners back line and their wide options. Martin Odegaard (for Nwaneri 46) - 5 Odegaard fired a free kick into the wall soon after his introduction and sprayed some crosses into the area, but there was no cutting edge to his play. His missed first penalty in the shootout did not paint the picture of confidence expected from a hopeful Premier League winning captain. Leandro Trossard (for Martinelli 46) - 7 Trossard seemed almost immediately more involved than his predecessor, eagerly getting on the ball and draing defenders into wide areas. His play drew his team forward and led to Kiwior's cross and the subsequent goal. He zipped around with urgency during his time on the pitch and brought a tempo that Martinelli could learn from. Marli Salmon (for Saliba 66) - 6 At just 15-years-old, Salmon was brought on to replace one of the most dominant defenders in world football . It is a shame the game did not give him a chance to showcase his talents, but just being there and looking so comfortable on his debut is a massive endorsement for his mentality. He seemed composed on the few occasions the ball came his way and didn't panic when Milan threatened to break, but that was all he could do. 7 Zubimendi made his debut in Arsenal colours, but failed to make an impact Credit: Getty 7 Max Dowman made his debut at just 15-years-old, winning some fouls with some neat footwork Credit: Reuters Mikel Merino (for Rice 66) - 7 It seems with the return of striker Viktor Gyokeres - that Merino's time as a situational striker has come to an end. The Spaniard slotted into midfield for Rice with a third of the game to play, but it was an uneventful spell. His one moment of threat came from a towering header from a corner, which seemed to be going goalwards before being tipped away. Max Dowman (for Saka 66) - 7 It was a mature first-team debut for highly rated youngster Max Dowman. Describing the 15-year-old, 2009-born Dowman as a youngster barely does his age justice when he is being introduced to a men's game of football . But he showed no fear, winning some free kicks early on and showing for the ball when possible, and his penalty may have been the pick of the bunch. The potential is clear to see. Josh Nichols (for White 66) - 5 Nichols did not see much of the ball after his introduction, but did come across as panicked on the sparse occasions when he was called into making a defensive action. That is surely to be expected of an 18-year-old however, and his positional discipline seemed to improve as he grew into the game. Reiss Nelson (for Havertz 79) -5 The forgotten man at Arsenal over recent years, He had one outside-of-the-box effort that may have been headed goalward, but it deflected off the head of a defender and went wide. His missed penalty will also not help build his confidence ahead of an uncertain season for the English winger.

Springboks omit Mapimpi and De Klerk for Wallabies Tests
DOUBLE RUGBY WORLD Cup winners Makazole Mapimpi and Faf de Klerk have been omitted from the South Africa squad for two Rugby Championship Tests against Australia during August. Salmaan Moerat, who captained the Springboks to victory over Italy this month, is also left out of a 37-man squad consisting of 20 forwards and 17 backs. Jean Kleyn, too, misses out, with the Munster lock having missed the Boks' summer Tests with an unspecified injury suffered in training last month. The two Tests against the Wallabies mark the start of the southern hemisphere title defence by South Africa, which also includes two matches in New Zealand and home and away games against Argentina. 'It is always challenging to reduce the squad, especially given how the expanded group of players put up their hands (in four build-up matches),' said head coach Rassie Erasmus. 'But we always said we would select a smaller, more manageable squad during the Rugby Championship. 'This group includes several experienced players and a few younger guys, who grabbed their chances in the last few Tests, so we are pleased with this squad for the first two matches.' Advertisement Veteran winger Mapimpi loses out only because of fierce competition to fill the number 14 and 11 shirts between Cheslin Kolbe, Kurt-Lee Arendse and Edwill van der Merwe. Kolbe and Arendse are the current first choices while Van der Merwe sparkled during July, scoring four tries in successive victories against Italy and Georgia. Canan Moodie, who plays at centre or on the wing, also starred during the four-match build-up for the Rugby Championship and his versatility should make him a strong candidate for at least a place on the bench. - Hotly contested - De Klerk drops out of the hotly contested scrum-half race with in-form Grant Williams, Cobus Reinach and Morne van den Berg preferred. Head coach Rassie Erasmus has said that 2023 World Cup winner Jaden Hendrikse — not part of the build-up squad — could also come into the reckoning later this season. The absence of Moerat leaves Eben Etzebeth, Lood de Jager, Ruan Nortje, R.G. Snyman and possibly Cobus Wiese competing for the lock positions. Cobus Wiese has been a second-rower for much of his career, but was deployed as a number 8 against Georgia last weekend in the absence of older brother Jasper, who is serving a four-match ban. Fit-again Jean-Luc du Preez and utility loose forward Kwagga Smith are other options to partner probable flankers Pieter-Steph du Toit and captain Siya Kolisi in the back row. South Africa face Australia at Ellis Park in Johannesburg on 16 August and at Cape Town Stadium seven days later. South Africa squad to face Australia in Rugby Championship Forwards: Lood de Jager, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Jean-Luc du Preez, Eben Etzebeth, Vincent Koch, Siya Kolisi (capt), Wilco Louw, Malcolm Marx, Bongi Mbonambi, Franco Mostert, Ox Nche, Ruan Nortje, Asenathi Ntlabakanye, Kwagga Smith, RG Snyman, Marnus van der Merwe, Marco van Staden, Boan Venter, Jan-Hendrik Wessels, Cobus Wiese Backs: Kurt-Lee Arendse, Damian de Allende, Andre Esterhuizen, Aphelele Fassi, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, Ethan Hooker, Jesse Kriel, Cheslin Kolbe, Willie le Roux, Manie Libbok, Canan Moodie, Handre Pollard, Cobus Reinach, Edwill van der Merwe, Morne van den Berg, Grant Williams, Damian Willemse – © AFP 2025
