Mikel Arteta – 8/10
Controlled the midfield with typically metronomic passing.
Serge Gnabry – 8/10
Remarkable composure for an 18 year-old. Gnabry has pace, skill and passed the ball intelligently, setting up Santi Cazorla’s opener.
Jack Wilshere – 7/10
Found himself the target of consistent rash tackles from Spurs players who seemed to be aiming for his shin pads, and occasionally struggled to make his mark on proceedings.
Tomas Rosicky – 8/10
Tomas Rosicky possesses a remarkable amount of stamina and pace for a 33 year-old, and put his goal away beautifully with a deft chip.
Santi Cazorla – 8/10
Opened the scoring with a wonderful first time shot, and showed good dribbling ability and passing throughout.
Theo Walcott – 8/10
Made some brilliant runs, and was unfortunate not to get on the scoresheet.
Substitutes:
Per Mertesacker – 8/10
Organised the defence impeccably when he replaced Thomas Vermaelen at half time.
Mathieu Flamini – 7/10
Anchored midfield with bite and solid passing.
Mesut Ozil – 7/10
Had little time to make an impact, but showed some nice touches, and was unlucky not to score after a great Hugo Lloris save.
