AMC: Mesut Ozil – 5/10
Completely anonymous in the first half despite being given preference over Cazorla in the No. 10 role. Saw more of the ball in the second period, but could not create a chance for a teammate until he slipped in Alexis Sanchez for a 94th-minute shot which was saved by the legs of Adrian.
AML: Santi Cazorla – 5/10
The pass-master is much less effective drifting in off the left. A more natural winger could have helped Monreal expose an out-of-position Tomkins on the right side of the West Ham defence.
AMR: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – 7/10
The pick of the bunch for Arsenal. Running at his full-back with pace and power, the Ox was always a threat. He came close in the opening 10 minutes with a dipping volley which grazed the roof of the net.
