Laurent Koscielny (Arsenal)
Once Arsenal scored an early goal against Tottenham Hotspur, they sat back and played on the counter.
That inevitably allowed Spurs to dominate possession, and push forward to attack, but Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker were near-indomitable at the back.
The Frenchman made three tackles, two interceptions and fifteen clearances – as well as a remarkable block from Nacir Chadli’s shot after Wojciech Szczesny’s gaffe.
