CM: Aaron Ramsey – 7
Had a number of chances himself in the first half before setting up Giroud.
The Frenchman then returned the favour for his teammate with the two combining brilliantly in the box before the Welshman sealed the points for the Gunners.
Is he now back to his best after his injury troubles?
RW: Theo Walcott – 5
Walcott got his much coveted start of some suspicious absences in recent weeks when you consider his ongoing contract negotations.
Still not back to his best following his knee injury, wasted a flurry of chances in the first half before being taken off for Cazorla halfway through the second.
