CB: Per Mertesacker 6/10
Kept United’s star-studded attackers quiet for most of the match, but was too exposed in the second half, when the Gunners over-committed in attack.
CB: Nacho Monreal – 6/10
Clearly does not enjoy playing at centre-back, but he did a reasonable job.
LB: Kieran Gibbs – 6/10
Was subdued in an attacking sense, but that was mainly because he was focussed on helping out Monreal. Was very unfortunate with the own goal, but it stemmed from a lack of communication between he and Szczesny.
