RATINGS: Player Ratings From Arsenal’s Vital 1-0 Win Over WBA

By on November 29, 2014

Arsenal moved back in to the top four with a hard fought 1-0 win away at West Brom this afternoon. Danny Welbeck proved to be the match-winner with the 23-year-old heading home the only goal of the game midway through the second half following some excellent work from Santi Cazorla.

Here are player ratings from the game:

Martinez – 6/10 – Very little to do but was assured when he was involved. Commanded his area and dealt with crosses well.

Chambers – 6.5/10 – Solid outing from the youngster. He gave little away in defence and ventured forward to help in attack when needed.

Mertesacker – 7/10 – More composed alongside Kos and his height was important during the final 15 minutes as West Brom pushed for a goal.

Koscielny – 7/10 – Great to see him back and we certainly look more solid with him in the team.

Monreal – 6.5/10 – Moved to left-back but subbed off in the first half with a knee injury.

Flamini – 7/10 – Positionally much better as he was far more disciplined in front of the defence. And he didn’t get booked!

Ramsey – 6.5/10 – Worked hard but things still don’t look natural for him yet. Taking too many touches and hasn’t rediscovered his shooting boots.

Welbeck – 7.5/10 – Started on the left but had the freedom to switch positions during the game. On hand to head home the winner.

Alexis – 7/10 – Another tireless performance from the Chilean but he couldn’t get things going in the final third.

Cazorla – 8/10 – MOTM. Easily our best player overall and although his finishing was poor once again, he produced the moment of magic to win the game with an assist for Welbz.

Giroud – 6.5/10 – We’ve missed his strength and presence up front and he looked surprisingly sharp for his first start in over three months. Tired eventually and was replaced but decent outing.

Subs:

Gibbs – 7/10 – On for the injured Monreal and was as reliable as ever.

The Ox – 6/10 – On for 10 minutes, and got injured. Hopefully his knee injury isn’t serious.

That’s back-to-back wins and just as importantly, two clean sheets, which gives us confidence heading into Wednesday’s huge game against Southampton.
