BATE Borisov
Denis Scherbitski - 5/10
His reaction to save a deflected Danny Welbeck effort was the only thing to go his way tonight. His defence didn't help one bit.
Maksim Volodko - 5/10
Beaten too easily and too often by a driven Theo Walcott. Also happened to be the only player in the game to be booked.
Nemanja Milunovic - 5/10
Had Giroud contained for most of the game but didn't read the Frenchman's intentions with those cute little balls though.
Denis Polyakov - 5/10
It was perfectly set up. The winger had the ball, he saw the intention, timed his run and when the opportunity presented itself, he tucked it away beautifully. A stunning (own) goal that got the barely-filled Emirates to its feet.
Alexel Rios - 6/10
Probably the only defender who wanted to do some form of attacking when possible. Struggled with getting past the half-way line though.
Stanislav Dragun - 5.5/10
One of the better performers of the game for the side from Belarus and did get one key pass to his name.
Yevgeniy Berezkin - 6/10
Probably BATE's best player with his control of the ball in midfield. Kept Coquelin busy and won all of his 9 duels in the centre.
Igor Stasevich - 5/10
Was dispossessed nearly everytime he got the ball into the Arsenal third but did work more than his teammates to create something that resembled a chance.
Mirko Ivanic - 5/10
Couldn't do much playing as the #10 on the field given his forwards were missing but did string together a couple of chances and worked hard to push the ball forward.
Mikhail Gordejchuk - 5/10
Took advantage of Maitland-Niles' eagerness to bomb forward with his positioning on the field but couldn't create much from them throughout the game.
Vitali Rodionov - 5/10
Must've been glad as he was taken off given Calum Chambers and Rob Holding contained him ruthless all throughout.
Substitutes
Nikolai Signevich - 6/10
Came on early in the second half and played mostly on the right trying to drift in. Did cause a few problems for Arsenal.
Jasse Tuominen - 6/10
Was asked to get at Arsenal's defence in a more direct fashion but just didn't have enough time to find his rhythm.
Evgeni Yablonski - 6/10
Wasn't long enough on the field to have an impact.
