23. Danny Welbeck (Podolski, 80′) – 5
Not the best of games for the forward, although he had a couple of decent chances before being taken off.
Substitutions:
16. Aaron Ramsey – 6
Didn’t influence much going forward, but brought more energy to the field after replacing Arteta.
14. Theo Walcott – 6
Made his long awaited return from injury and looked as sharp as ever, blazing down the flank to set up Lukas Podolski.
9. Lukas Podolski – 7
On this showing the Germany international should be playing more often and he was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet late on.
Manager – Arsene Wenger – 6
A decent display from his side although starting with Arteta and Flamini seemed unnecessarily defensive and it took too long to get the breakthrough.
