CM) Francis Coquelin, 7
Also didn’t have a huge amount to do, but made sure their Midlands opponents weren’t able to counter attack with any real threat.
CM) Santi Cazorla, 8
At the heart of most of the Gunners’ attacks, pulling the strings from deep to tear Aston Villa apart.
CAM) Mesut Ozil, 7
The game seemed to pass the World Cup winner by somewhat, but he also didn’t do anything wrong.
LW) Alexis Sanchez, 9
Amazing goal, and well deserved as well for yet another all action display. Where would the North Londoners be without their talismanic forward?
RW) Aaron Ramsey, 7
Not his natural position but the Welshman did a good job out wide.
