Arsenal managed a very impressive 2-1 win away in France on Wednesday night, with Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey on the scoresheet. Below you can see my player ratings, have your say in the comments at the foot of the article.
Woijech Szczesny – 7Â Some very good saves, but handling was not the best.
Bacary Sagna – 7Â Solid when called upon, made no errors and provided his usual consistent performance.
Per Mertesacker – 7Â Per was solid again and made a crucial interception to stop Marseille scoring a tap in.
Laurent Koscielny – 6.5Â Good defensively but a couple of uncharacteristic passes caused unnecessary pressure.
Keiran Gibbs – 8Â Man of the Match. Was crucial and looked solid defensively, really mature performance.
Mathieu Flamini – 7Â Looks every part an Arsenal player. His presence in front of the back four adds confidence.
Aaron Ramsey – 7.5Â Scored another goal, was very good in the middle of the park with crucial interceptions.
Jack Wilshere – 7Â Looked really bright playing from the left, brilliant passing.
Mesut Özil – 6.5 Calm and confident on the ball, was pushed off the ball a few times and the lenient ref let everything go.
Theo Walcott – 7Â His goal was vital and his runs constantly a threat to the Marseille left-back, Morel.
Olivier Giroud – 6Â Not the best from Giroud tonight, but still held the ball up well.
