14 Theo Walcott – 8/10
Theo Walcott has been immense for Arsenal since returning from injury, with five goals and two assists in his six games upon being recalled.
The England winger sealed Arsenal’s victory with a wonderful chipped finish, and provided brilliant deliveries from out wide from both set pieces and open play.
19 Santi Cazorla – 6/10
Tried hard, but the end product is not yet there. Cazorla was comfortably Arsenal’s best player last season, but has struggled to hit the heights of last term in the current campaign.
09 Lukas Podolski – 5/10
Arsenal are used to playing with a target man, and Lukas Podolski is not that type of player.
The German does not have the strength of Olivier Giroud or Nicklas Bendtner, and is better from wide on the left.
