AMR) Tomas Rosicky – 7
Main reason behind the increase in tempo as the 34-year-old burst down the right to almost create an opening goal.
AML) Alexis Sanchez – 8
Ended his goal drought with aplomb after scoring an brilliant solo goal.
CF) Olivier Giroud – 8
Held the ball up marvelously and his sheer determination opened the scoring.
Substitutes:
Laurent Koscielny – 6
Came on for the injured Gabriel in the first half and could’ve gotten closer to Austin before the forward fired home.
Danny Welbeck – N/A
Came on for the dying embers of the game as Arsenal ran down the clock.
Aaron Ramsey – N/A
Made his comeback from a hamstring injury late on.
