[Ratings] Iwobi stars as impressive Arsenal beat Everton 2-0

By on March 19, 2016

Alex-Iwobi-Arsenal

Arsenal kept themselves in the title race with a superb 2-0 victory over Everton at Goodison Park this afternoon with Danny Welbeck and Alex Iwobi getting the all-important goals.

Here are my ratings:

Ospina 6.5 – A solid game. Little to do in terms of shot-stopping but showed his bravery at times.

Bellerin 7.5 – A real outlet down the right and he set-up the Iwobi goal with a fine long-ball.

Gabriel 7 – Fought well against the physical threat of Lukaku. Showed a real fighting spirit.

Koscielny 7 – Another solid shift from the Frenchman at the back. Kept the hosts at bay with some great defending.

Monreal 7 – Like a rock at left-back and was always keen to get forward.

Coquelin  8 – Excellent display. Protected the back four, made some great tackles and never stopped working.

Elneny 7 – Another encouraging performance. Looks to be forging a solid partnership alongside Coquelin. Added a bit of steel and discipline to our midfield.

Sanchez 6.5 – Set up the opener with a superb through-ball and was very lively, especially in the first half when he should also have had a penalty. Quieter after the break.

Ozil 6.5 – Played his part in the opener with a superb one-two and was always dangerous when on the ball.

Iwobi 8.5 – Scored a superb goal on his full Premier League debut and was hugely impressive. Showed he can cope with the physical battle at such a tender age and was full of confidence. Great prospect.

Welbeck 7.5 – A lovely composed finish to open the scoring and his pace and movement caused Everton plenty of problems. Should have got a second after the break.

Subs:

Giroud 6 – Had a header harshly ruled out towards the end.

Gibbs 6 – On to offer more protection down the left side.
