Arsenal's Reiss Nelson shows off silky footwork against Chelsea
Ospina - Helpless to prevent Benfica's two goals which both came courtesy of deflections - 6
Holding - The young defender was making his first appearance of pre-season and looked out of sorts - 5
Mertesacker - The Arsenal captain was immense in the FA Cup final but his lack of pace remains an issue and, for both of Benfica's goals, he was sluggish and cumbersome - 5
Kolasinac - The new left-back hadn't really impressed so far in pre-season but he grabbed an assist and played a part in another - 7
Nelson - This 17-year-old continues to look the real deal. Fearless, attack minded and strong. Nelson is making a strong case to be a part of the first team this season - 9

Reiss Nelson was Arsenal's best performer
Coquelin - Came off in the first half but provided an assist for Walcott - 6
Xhaka - Calm and assured performance in the middle of the park by the Swiss - 7
Maitland-Niles - Started in the back three and was at fault for Benfica's second - 5
Walcott - Grabbed two goals, should have had a hat-trick but still doubts remain about how he fits into this Arsenal team - 7
Iwobi - The Nigerian needs a big season and he showed his capabilities with a goal and slick display - 7
Giroud - Anonymous for much of the match and didn't appear to be happy at times but got his name on the scoresheet in the second half - 6
