GK) Wojciech Szczesny – 7
Didn’t have a huge amount to do but kept his defence confident. Saved one late Wesley Sneijder free kick, and couldn’t do much about the second.
LB) Hector Bellerin – 7
A decent performance at left-back, played some encouraging exchanges with Ramsey to create space in the middle.
CB) Per Mertesacker – 7.5
Will be frustrated to have missed out on another clean sheet after conceding from a free kick late on.
CB) Calum Chambers – 7
Looks far more comfortable at centre-back than at right-back.
RB) Mathieu Debuchy – 7
Played well for an hour before being removed. Wenger will be delighted to have him back.
CM) Mathieu Flamini – 7.5
Solid performance from the defensive midfielder, who kept Sneijder quiet until he was taken off at half time.
CM) Aaron Ramsey – 8
A fantastic performance from the midfielder, who scored a cool first and a stunning second. Taken off at half time after picking up a knock.
AML) Lukas Podolski – 8
Hammered in the first and then rolled in a late second. Will have improved his asking price with that performance.
AMC) Alex Ozlade Chamberlain – 8
Outstanding running between the lines creating chances for his teammates.
AMR) Joel Cambell – 6.5
Created some chances with his pace but still careless in the final third.
ST) Yaya Sanogo – 6
Would have hoped to have contributed more given Galatasaray’s obvious limitations
