Arsenal Vs West Brom Player Ratings: Per Mertesacker & Laurent Koscielny Impress As Gunners Edge Out Baggies

Posted by

Lukas Podolski  – 6/10

Podolski looked in good shape physically and he should have scored his fifth goal in four games, but he shanked an effort onto the woodwork in the second half.

Olivier Giroud – 7/10

Giroud made an excellent near-post run to get away from Craig Dawson for his headed goal.

He led the line well, but then risked spoiling his afternoon by clashing with Dorrans in stoppage time. Both players received yellow cards. A red would have seen Giroud miss the FA Cup final.

Substitutes:

Kim Kallstrom  – 5/10

Swedish midfielder Kallstrom replaced Arteta just after the hour and was fairly anonymous.

Tomas Rosicky  – 7/10

He was only on the field for 17 minutes, but Rosicky still managed to impress. He could have had an assist to his name, but was let down by Podolski’s finishing.

Thomas Vermaelen 7/10

Vermaelen came on for Monreal for the final 10 minutes and was called upon on three occasions, as West Brom threw late caution to the wind.

The Belgian coped well, making an important tackle and two clearances.
