Olivier Giroud – 6/10
Olivier Giroud worked hard, but his lack of pace – and the lack of pace from the players around him – meant that Manchester City were able to close the lines and keep things compact, unafraid that they would be caught out by runners in behind.
The Frenchman was restricted to a couple of speculative efforts from range, and missed his free header.
Substitutes:
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – 7/10
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain showed some nice touches and awareness in the attack for Arsenal, and added more energy than the man he replaced, Lukas Podolski.
Yaya Sanogo – 6/10
Yaya Sanogo had few minutes to impress for Arsenal, but at least showed movement into the channels and pushed the Man City defence deeper.
