CDM: Francis Coquelin – 7/10
The Frenchman gives Arsenal something that they have been missing in these games against top-class opposition; discipline and physicality in midfield.
CM: Santi Cazorla – 7/10
Missed a golden chance to make the result safe late on, but had previously been one of the pick of the players with his delightful range of passing.
AMC: Aaron Ramsey – 7/10
Helped the Gunners to almost completely dominate the midfield battle in the first half, and never seemed to stop running. Made good forward runs which will pay dividends on another day.
