23 – Danny Welbeck – 7
Worked hard and had a significant hand in both goals; winning the penalty for the first and his rebounded effort fell to Giroud for the second.
17 – Alexis Sanchez – 7
Was his usual self off the ball, but couldn’t conjure up the magic we’ve become accustomed to when in possession – unlucky not to score.
12 – Olivier Giroud – 7
Held the ball up well but couldn’t find the final pass on a few occasions – grabbed the all important second goal.
Substitutes:
3. Kieran Gibbs – 6
Brought on to protect the left during the last few moments of the game.
7. Tomas Rosicky – 6
Couldn’t make significant a impact, but would’ve been in should Giroud crossed accurately towards the end of the game.
5 – Gabriel – N/A
Came on in the last few moments for Alexis Sanchez.
