CM) Mathieu Flamini – 6
Anchored the midfield well, breaking up the play and ensuring Arsenal kept moving forward.
CM) Aaron Ramsey – 7
A strong performance in the Arsenal midfield, with some slick passing and several threatening bursts forward.
AM) Alexis Sanchez – 8
Once again the standout player in an Arsenal shirt, he caused Southampton constant problems with his pace and trickery. His tireless runs kept the Gunners going right till the end, and he deservedly got the goal.
