Arsenal vs Swansea: Player ratings for the Gunners

Aaron Ramsey

Wojciech Szczesny 8 - Except of that one mistake in the first half which almost led to a Swansea goal, he had a good game with some great saves during the second half.

Bacary Sagna 8 – Right back who was tipped to leave Emirates shows how important he is to this squad. Good game.

Per Mertesacker 6.5 – Yet another commanding display from the big German. His lack of pace cost Swansea’s goal. Other than that, a flawless game.

Laurent Koscielny 7 – His partnership with Mertesacker is probably one of the best in the country. Good game.

Kieran Gibbs 6 – Average game by his usual standards. Not attacked much as he was constantly forced back by Nathan Dyer’s marauding runs.

Mathieu Flamini 7 – What a signing he has been for the Gunners. Performed his destroyer role to perfection again.

Aaron Ramsey 8 – A contender for the player of the season? Long way to go but he has that golden touch at the moment. His work rate and commitment on the pitch are tremendous.

Serge Gnabry 8 – After a poor performance in the midweek, the German wonder kid came back well with a solid display against the swans. Took his goal brilliantly.

Mesut Ozil 6 – Looked tired but still pulled strings in the midfield.

Jack Wilshere 7 – Worked really hard and involved in Arsenal’s both the goals.

Olivier Giroud 7 – Unable to score a goal but his linkup and holdup play was excellent.

Subs:

Mikel Arteta 6 – Yet to regain his full fitness, but still did a good job after coming on.

Nacho Monreal n/a – late substitute.

Carl Jenkinson n/a – only on in injury time.
