Arsenal blew the chance to move back up to third and dropped points from a winning position once again. Arsenal dominated the game and took the lead through an Alexis Sanchez header but this was cancelled out through a Bolasie goal which should have been saved by the returning Cech.
Cech - 5 – Didn’t have much to do but will be disappointed with the goal he conceded.
Bellerin – 6 – Went forward to good effect but wasted so many crosses when getting himself into a good position.
Gabriel – 6 Always looks like he’s got a mistake in him but did make a last ditch tackle at the end to make sure Arsenal took a point.
Koscielny – 6 -Looked okay but again looked like he might make a mistake.
Monreal – 7 – Defended well and attacked to good effect.
Elneny – 7 – Solid performance again and kept the ball moving in midfield.
Coquelin – 6 - Played okay but needed a bit more composure when playing the final pass. Will be disappointed in the goal as he showed Bolasie inside.
Sanchez – 8 – Excellent movement all afternoon and could have scored a couple but just managed the one. Alexis looks like he’s getting back to his best.
Ӧzil – 7 – Played well throughout the afternoon but let down by the attackers.
Iwobi – 7 – Iwobi continues to impress and looked great again. His movement is excellent and looks a constant threat in this Arsenal side.
Welbeck – 7 – Welbeck looked dangerous all afternoon with his pace and forced the keeper into a good save. He also created the Arsenal goal.
Subs
Ramsey – 6 – Didn’t influence the game
Giroud – 6 – Didn’t influence the game
Walcott – N/A – Didn’t have any time to influence the game
Overall, more dropped points and this season has become a shambles. It now looks inevitable that we will finish behind Spurs but the immediate concern should be finishing the top four.
