- 11 Mesut Özil – 8/10
Oozed class and guile today. Regularly beat Baggies midfielders and defenders, and showed his unrivalled vision on more than one occasion. If he was more clinical in front of goal, he would have capped the performance with a goal.
- 09 Lukas Podolski – 6/10
Should have scored, but slammed the woodwork instead – and visibly enjoyed being fed balls by the impressive Ozil.
- 12 Olivier Giroud – 7/10
Bagged his 22nd of the season, and showed, once again, he’s pretty good against the smaller sides. Arsenal fans will question whether he’s really cut out to win the team the league, however.
Subs:
Kim Kallstrom – 6/10 – Acted as a like for like replacement to Arteta, and didn’t look out of place.
Tomas Rosicky – 6/10 – Floated around the middle of the park, playing some nice intricate passes to the other playmakers.
Thomas Vermaelen – n/a – no time for an impact.
