CM) Francis Coquelin, 2
Incredibly lucky to stay on the field, and should have been sent off for numerous wild challenges.
CM) Santi Cazorla, 6
Playing deeper than he did last week, and was able to help build attacks for the North Londoners.
CAM) Mesut Ozil, 8
Grabbed an assist for Giroud’s goal, and looked far more active than he did against West Ham last time round.
RAM) Aaron Ramsey, 5
Unable to make any real inroads in to the Palace defence, and needs to get back to his form of 2013-14 if the Gunners are going to challenge for the title.
LAM) Alexis Sanchez, 8
Involved in both goals, and made things happen. However, it is worrying how much Arsenal rely on the former Barcelona man.
