Player Ratings
Szczesny – 5/10 – He made some good saves, but his woeful error that caused Aston villa equalizer could have cost them 2 points. He has been inconsistent throughout this season.
Jenkinson – 7/10 – He played like he is ready to take the spot from Sagna permanently. Constant threat while going forward with his overlapping runs.
Mertesacker – 6/10 – Nothing much to do. Decent game.
Vermaelen = 7/10 – Solid game from the Arsenal captain. Leader-ed the defense well.
Monreal – 7/10 – Made some bombarding forward runs but that left spaces for Aston Villa in the counters. Nice assist to Cazorla from a cut back pass.
Diaby – 6/10 – Decent game in the first half and unsurprisingly replaced due to injury.
Arteta – 6/10 – Not his day. Sloppy with possession and made some poor passes too. Wenger should give some rest to him.
Wilshere – 7.5/10 – As usual heart of every Arsenal attack. But missed a one on one chance at the start.
Cazorla – 9/10 – Two good goals today. He and Podolski are the only players in the squad who feel like natural goal scorers.
Walcott – 6/10 – Considering his form at the start of the season, this is again a poor game from the speedster. He needs to pull up his socks again.
Giroud – 6.5/10 – Held the ball well, made some nice touches and did everything fine other than scoring. But wait! his main job is to score goals right?
Ramsey – 5.5/10 –Replaced Diaby in the 60th minute. Kept things simple in the midfield.
Podolski – N/A – Missed one great chance but given very less time to have an impact in the game.
Laurent Koscielny – N/A Just for a sake substitution.
