CM: Mikel Arteta – 6.5/10
More than any other Arsenal player, it was about time on the pitch for the club captain, who has had a difficult 12 months with injury and will benefit greatly from this 63 minutes.
CM: Santi Cazorla – 6/10
Probably the key player when Arsenal are in full flow, the pace of the game was pretty friendly in the first half and the Spaniard could not stamp his influence on proceedings as he so often does.
AMC: Mesut Ozil – 7./10
The only player to start both Arsenal games in the space of 24 hours, Ozil produced a couple of lovely through-balls playing in his favoured No. 10 role, before being given a deserved rest at the interval.
