9. Gareth Evans - 6
A surprise inclusion but played with his heart on his sleeve as per usual. Ran and ran to try to win the ball for his side. Perhaps could have done better with first-half header | Freelance Photo: Joe Pepler
10. Ryan Williams - 6
Pompey's brightest player in the second half as he tried to create an opening. Dragged one shot wide when in a good area | Daniel Chesterton Photo: Daniel Chesterton
11. Ellis Harrison
Combative as ever. Roughed Arsenal up in the first period and won plenty of headers. One nod across goal early on forced Arsenal keeper into a save. But lacked service as game went on | 2020 Robin Jones Photo: Robin Jones
12. John Marquis (replaced Ellis Harrison 67 mins) - 6
Ran the lines when he came on and some decent touches. But didn't get service for any goalscoring opportunities | PinPep Photo: PinPeP
