AMR) Santi Cazorla – 8
Continued his brilliant run of form with an assists for Arsenal’s opener, and showed how gifted he is with a number of clever flicks and tricks.
AML) Lukas Podolski – 6
Quiet afternoon for the multi-capped German international. While he worked hard, he failed to involve himself in any of Arsenal’s more attacking moments.
FC) Olivier Giroud – 6
Assisted Oxlade-Chamberlain’s second with clever hold-up play, but struggled to find space against a very deep and rigid Palace back line.
