Arsenal player ratings: Cech plays pivotal role as handy Giroud breaks down Bayern Munich

Posted by

Alexis Sanchez – 6/10

Tireless effort from the Chilean international as usual, but perhaps lacked quality on the ball with his distribution even though he was dangerous on the break.

Aaron Ramsey – 6/10

The Welshman put in a solid shift as part of Arsenal’s overall defensive effort, but will be devastated that a hamstring injury ended his night early.

Theo Walcott – 6/10

Movement and pace ensured he was a real menace for the Bayern defence, but snatched at a couple of chances and should of headed home despite an incredible save from Manuel Neuer.

Substitutes

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – 6/10

Relieved that Ozil’s effort counted given his poor effort on the rebound, helped Arsenal hold on to the result and continue to be a threat on the counter.

Olivier Giroud – 8/10

His presence up front was an immediate problem for Bayern and aside from the goal, closed down the opposition and held the ball up well.

Kieran Gibbs – 6/10

Late substitute to add a bit more solidity down the left flank and did his job well.
