Arsenal ratings: Neto has nightmare debut to forget vs Girona but Ethan Nwaneri shines on first Champions League start
NETO had a nightmare Arsenal debut and has Ethan Nwaneri to thank for sparing his blushes.
The Gunners went into the game against Girona needing to just rubber stamp their qualification for the Champions League last 16.
Neto made his debut for the Gunners and it quickly became clear why Mikel Arteta had waited to play the stopper.
The goalkeeper was nervous from the start and at fault for the opening goal after he was caught in no man’s land.
Jorginho was able to show his calmness, however, as he converted from the spot to level the game for the Gunners.
Ethan Nwaneri then stepped up with a wonderful goal before the end of the first half to put Arsenal ahead and into the last 16.
Raheem Sterling was then denied from the spot late on.
SunSport’s Henry Tomlinson has provided his ratings for the Arsenal team…
Neto – 4
He made his long-awaited debut, having joined Arsenal on loan from Bournemouth last summer.
The goalkeeper got away with an early mistake and was caught out by former Spurs star Arnaut Danjuma.
Thomas Partey 45′ – 6

To aggressive from the right-back spot and was beaten for pace by Danjuma as Girona opened the score.
Partey struggled with the winger for much of the game which gave the hosts an edge.
Managed to win a penalty to give Arsenal a route back into the game after a needless challenge but was hooked at half-time.
Jakub Kiwior – 6
The defender put in a decent shift at the back and was able to keep Abel Ruiz quiet for much of the match.
Gabriel Magalhaes – 6
Like Kiwior, Gabriel was fairly solid against Girona and dealt with most of the danger from the hosts.
Riccardo Calafiori 69′ – 6
Thought he scored the opener but was a good foot offside.
Continued to be positive up the wing and helped the Gunners up the pitch.
Mikel Merino – 6
Merino was fine against Girona. It was not a performance that will grab headlines but did what he needed to do in midfield.
Jorginho 80′ – 7
It’s been a while, but the Italian was back on the scoresheet after converting from the spot in the 38th minute.
The midfielder was composed on the ball and helped recycle the ball and control possession.
Martin Odegaard – 6
It was a quiet night for the Gunners captain as he helped the team maintain the ball but lacked that creative spark.
Raheem Sterling – 4
Struggled to make a big impact in the first half and was the weakest of all of the Gunners’ frontline.
To make matters worse, he was booked for diving in the 70th minute.
And just as he though it couldn’t get even worse, he missed a penalty late on.
Leandro Trossard 69′ – 6
Should have given Arsenal the lead early on but was unable to deflect the ball goalwards.
Continued to prob and rattled the crossbar before the break with a powerful effort.
Ethan Nwaneri 85′ – 8
The youngster showed why he is one of the most promising players at the club with a wonder strike in the first half.
He wrapped a curling effort into the top corner before half-time on his first Champions League start.
His goal saw him become the second youngest English goalscorer in the history of thre Champions League.
Subs
Jurrien Timber 45′ – 6
Added some energy down the left-hand side after replacing Partey at half-time.
Kai Havertz 69′ – 6
Got involved in the attack but struggled to find a clear scoring chance,
Myles Lewis-Skelly 69′ – 6
Another comfortable outing for the impressive youngster.
Declan Rice 80′ – 6
Came on in the final stages to help solidify the defence for the Gunners and put in some dangerous corners.
He did pick up a booking late on.
Gabriel Martinelli 85′ – N/A
Replaced Nwaneri late on and looked dangerous on the wing for the final minutes.

Girona 1 Arsenal 2: Jorginho and Nwaneri complete first-half turnaround after debutant Neto’s howler
NETO was millimetres away from an Arsenal debut from hell in Girona.
On his first appearance for the Gunners – 152 days after a deadline day loan move from Bournemouth – the Brazilian goalie showed just how rusty he was with a Champions League howler.
He bizarrely raced out of his penalty box – out of excitement or sheer panic – only to then dive with an outstretched hand as Girona’s Arnaut Danjuma whipped in a 28th minute opener.
Had Neto got a touch to the ball, he would have surely been sent off by Italian ref Maurizio Mariani – another red card that would have almost certainly pushed boss Mikel Arteta over the edge.
Instead, the Gunners hit back via Jorginho’s penalty and Ethan Nwaneri’s stunner to book a Champions League last 16 spot in third place, surviving a late scare as Cristhian Stuani’s 77th minute equaliser was ruled out for offside by VAR before Raheem Sterling missed an injury-time spot-kick.
The path is now clear. One of either Feyenoord, Juventus, AC Milan or PSV await them in the knock-outs.
Arteta had been searching for a time to use his No.2 keeper, unable to play Neto in the Carabao Cup due to being cup-tied, and this near-confirmed dead rubber against a knocked-out Girona with just one European win to their name looked the perfect chance.
But after this showing, he may now think twice before chucking him in from the cold.
Spanish No.1 David Raya missed out due to a “lack of fitness”, despite training in the build-up and travelling with the squad to Spain on Tuesday, but should be fine to face Manchester City on Sunday.
It gave Neto a rare outing – his first match since starting for the Cherries in a cup defeat to West Ham on August 28.

Despite their current injury issues – missing the likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Ben White – Arteta also used this one to rotate elsewhere.
William Saliba, Gabriel Martinelli, Jurrien Timber, Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Myles Lewis-Skelly – fresh from having his three-game ban wiped for his controversial red in the 1-0 win over Wolves on Saturday – dropped to the bench.
Skipper Martin Odegaard and midfielder Mikel Merino returned after missing the Molineux win, while the pre-match talk was all about their shock bid for Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins.
But from kick-off, all eyes were on Neto in between the sticks. His first touch set the tone.
Around 20 yards outside of his box, a simple Jorginho pass-back was fumbled before slipping over, nearly allowing Yaser Asprilla to nick it with an open goal gaping.
The visitors responded. The hugely impressive Nwaneri – still only 17 – crossed for Leandro Trossard by the Belgian scuffed it wide.
Arsenal were inches away from taking the lead. Riccardo Calafiori – who netted the winner against Wolves – was narrowly offside from a Sterling pass inside the box before scoring.
But Girona were growing in confidence, thanks mainly to Danjuma terrorising Thomas Partey – a midfielder at right-back. A cheeky nutmeg on Partey saw Danjuma shimmy inside and threaten.
Again, Danjuma beat Partey – this time for pace in behind – only to see a wayward Neto miles out of his box and unaware of his surroundings, making for a simple finish from distance.
It had echoes of Robert Sanchez’s recent antics for Chelsea against Manchester City’s Erling Haaland.
Arsenal were all over the shop as Jakub Kiwior lost possession and gave up another chance – but they were handed a lifeline thanks to Arnau Martinez clattering into Partey in the box.
Jorginho hopped, skipped and jumped his penalty technique for a 38th minute equaliser.
And four minutes later, Arsenal’s teenage sensation put them in front, dribbling across the box and picking his spot with a curling beauty into the far corner.
A first Champions League goal on his first competition start, making it six goals in total this term.
Following Stuani’s disallowed strike, Arteta threw on the big guns in Rice and Havertz to see out a no-thrills away-day victory in the heart of Catalonia, but could not finish in style as Sterling’s penalty after Alejandro Frances’ handball was saved by Pau Lopez.
Even so, Champions League dreaming can officially begin.
PSV 3 Liverpool 2: Arne Slot’s youthful side beaten by Dutch giants… but still seal Champions League top spot
ARNE SLOT claimed a “wise man” once told him nothing good ever came from a defeat.
The identity of the Liverpool’s manager’s Yoda-style mentor remains a mystery but he may also have mentioned that the results of pre-season friendlies do not matter.
Because here in Eindhoven, it felt exactly like that for Liverpool – the sort of match we see in July – with Slot mixing and matching his team without worrying too much about the outcome.
Even though they lost, Liverpool finished in the top two.
So this third defeat of the Slot reign really was an irrelevance and not one anyone will dwell on.
Slot will certainly not stress about a late red card for Liverpool substitute defender Amara Nallo for a tackle on Johan Bakayoko.
Nothing happened until Cody Gakpo scored against his former club with a 28th-minute penalty.
Bakayoko equalised, Harvey Elliott restored Liverpool lead and then Ismael Saibari levelled in the 45th minute.
Remarkably, in the sixth minute of first-half stoppage time, PSV got what was to be their winner.
And it was credited to Ricardo Pepi but looked like a Conor Bradley own goal.

Yet it was always going to be a strange night.
With captain Virgil van Dijk among several high-profile absentees left at home, Andy Robertson not only wore the skipper’s armband.
The Scot also replaced the Dutchman in central defence so there were always going to be a few gaps at the back.
Striker Jayden Danns was handed a full debut up front while midfielder James McConnell made only his third start.
Federico Chiesa – the only arrival last summer – has suffered an injury-hit spell on Merseyside and will have been delighted to get a full 90 minutes in his second start although he was guilty of an embarrassing dive in a bid to win a penalty.
It was Chiesa who won the penalty although he needed extensive treatment after a clumsy whack to the ankles from Joey Veerman.
Gakpo calmly dispatched his spot-kick into the bottom corner and as he had promised before the game, the £45m signing did not celebrate in front of his former supporters.
Gakpo’s 39th strike for Liverpool sparked a flurry of goals.
Bakayoko delivered a lovely finish following a clever turn which left both Robertson and Jarell Quansah on their backsides.
Elliott tucked away a loose ball to restore Liverpool’s lead after keeper Benitez could only parry a shot from Chiesa and Saibari beat Caoimhin Kelleher at his near post for 2-2.
Liverpool did not defend well and they caught out down their right again.
Although Pepi was marked down at the goalscorer, Uefa initially awarded it as an own goal to Bradley as he got a heavy touch to Mauro Junior’s cross.
Only six minutes of the second half had been played when Slot decided to give Gakpo a rest and he received a standing ovation from the PSV fans who sang his name.
Gakpo’s replacement, Tyler Morton, delivered a stunning block to prevent Saibari from getting a fourth.
And Kelleher delivered a decent late save to deny Isaac Babadi.
Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool and Aston Villa learn their Champions League opponents as final league table is confirmed
THE brand new Champions League league phase is over and we now know who will be facing who in the next round.
All four of the English clubs have managed to advance from the first round with Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa booking their place in the last 16 without the need for a play
Manchester City, however, will have a huge challenge as they will face on one of Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in a play-off round in February to try and earn a spot in the last 16 proper.
Pep Guardiola’s side will learn which of those two teams they face in a draw taking place on January 31.
The Cityzens narrowly squeezed into the play-offs with a 3-1 comeback win over Club Brugge that pushed them into 22nd
Arsenal, Liverpool and Villa will all have to wait to find out who advances to the last 16 from the play-off round to discover their opponents for their clashes.
But until then, the final league table allows us to look at the four potential opponents each side would face.
Arsenal’s 3rd placed finish means they will face one of AC Milan, Juventus, PSV or Feyenoord in a tricky tie..
While Liverpool’s first placed finish hasn’t done them a huge favour as they could still take on PSG, Benfica, AS Monaco or Brest in the last 16.
For Villa, they snuck into the top eight by the skin of their teeth in 8th place.
CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS
Their lower finish means they will face higher-seeded sides, and in this instance that will be one of Atalanta, Borussia Dortmund, Sporting Lisbon or Club Brugge.
Man City know their route too, which means if they do advance past Bayern or Real Madrid in the play-offs, then they will face either Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen in the last 16.
The overly complicated format, also known as the Swiss model, has thrown up some other potential heavyweight clashes across the competition.
Scottish giants Celtic will face whoever of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich isn’t drawn to face Man City in a horror tie.
Who faces who?
Here's a look at the English club's ties...
Play-off round
Manchester City vs Bayern Munich/Real Madrid

Liverpool vs PSG/Benfica/AS Monaco/Brest

I thought my boyfriend was an Uber driver & barely recognised my own daughter after car crash made me lose my memory
A MUM has been dubbed the real life ’50 first dates’ after a brain injury led her to forget her partner and barely recognise her own daughter.
Nesh Pillay, 33, suffered a brain injury when she was just nine after she was in a car crash in South Africa.
As a result, she suffered from other concussions throughout her life, with the effects getting worse every time.
In 2022, Nesh, who lives in Toronto, Canada, had another bump on the head and when she woke up, suffered a bout of severe memory loss, even forgetting that she had a partner, Johannes Jakope, and six-year-old daughter.
“I reportedly was very confused and didn’t know what was going on,” Nesh explained to Newsweek.
“Then over the course of a couple of hours, I lost my memory. By that evening I didn’t know who my partner was. I didn’t know much about my daughter. That’s so difficult.”
Nesh was taken to the hospital as she was in a constant state of panic about where she was and who she was with.
In fact, when she woke up, she thought her partner, now husband, was her Uber driver.
Her partner regularly filmed their interactions as evidence for her memory loss as some doctors failed to believe it was from a brain injury.
In one clip, she asked him, “Are you the Uber?” “I’m your boyfriend,” he responded.
“Oh, no, my mom’s going to be so mad,” she says, adding that she “can’t have a boyfriend.”
During her three-day stay in the hospital, the five psychiatrists who assessed her confirmed the issue was not psychological and she was finally approved to see a neurologist.
“He said the thing that I think a lot of doctors are afraid to say which is, ‘I don’t know,’” she recalled to Newsweek. “It was nice to hear that because at least I wasn’t being gaslit.”
As a result, family members had to be with Nesh all the time – even while she showered – as she would forget what she was doing and where she was.
Nesh has since been in and out of hospitals and sharing her recovery on TikTok.
Despite forgetting much of her previous life, Nesh and Johannes are still together as he helps nurse her back to health and got married last year.
“It was a really difficult thing to get through,” she said to Caters, noting the strain her injuries have had on their relationship.
“[Jakope] has been so patient with me throughout my entire recovery,” Pillay added.
“His constant love and support throughout this time have culminated in me falling in love with him again, and our engagement.”
The pair have now also welcomed their second child into the world.
During her memory loss, Nesh says while she didn’t recognise her daughter as hers, her maternal instinct never left.
She said: “Whenever my memory would reset once a minute, I often found myself in a panic over the wellbeing of a child.”
“The fear for her wellbeing was often so intense I couldn’t sleep at night.”
Her journey on TikTok has filled people with hope, and now Nesh has her own documentary, 50k First Dates, coming out on Amazon Prime to show her full journey on February 11.
