Arsenal

Francis Coquelin – 7.5: Always in the right place, blocking some important shots from distance and giving safeness to the back four.
Santi Cazorla – 7.5: Another fine game for him, keeping the ball well with 66 completed passes out of 74 attempts.
Joel Campbell – 8: Did extremely well on his starting Premier League debut, scoring a goal and being a threat constantly in the final third.
Mesut Ozil – 8: The German midfielder created played a hand in all three of Arsenal’s goals, with two direct assists and four crosses.
Alexis Sanchez – 6.5: Most of the time was invisible, with no impact on the game.
Olivier Giroud – 8.5: Man of the match, scoring first goal magnificently and helping Koscielny for the second.
