Olivier Giroud scored a hat-trick as Arsenal thrashed Aston Villa 4-0 at the Emirates and with Spurs going down 5-1 at Newcastle, we finish second and can once again celebrate St Totteringham’s Day.

Here are my ratings:

Cech 6 – A virtual bystander for much of the game. Secured his 16th clean sheet to win the Golden Gloves.

Bellerin 7 – Lovely assist for Giroud’s third goal and was once again a threat down the right flank.

Gabriel 5.5 – Was given some trouble by Ayew and had to be bailed out by his team mates a few times.

Koscielny 6.5 – Solid outing and did well to sweep up any time Villa pushed forward.

Monreal 7 – Great cross to set-up Giroud for the opener. Made a crucial interception to prevent a certain equaliser late in the first half.

Coquelin 5 – A disappointing game. Seems to have lost his confidence a little having been left out by Wenger recently.

Wilshere 6.5 – Great to see him make his first start of the season. Showed some nice touches but missed a great chance to make it 2-0 as he hit the side netting from close range.

Cazorla 7 – He’s been hugely missed. Started every attack from deep and dictated the game.

Ozil 7 – Grabbed his 19th assist of the season but just missed out on the record.

Sanchez 7 – Was involved in some superb moments but just missed out on getting on the score-sheet.

Giroud 9 – Superb hat-trick from the big man. Such a frustrating player as he’s either excellent or useless. Today, he was excellent.

Subs:

Elneny  6 – Should have scored but blazed over.

Arteta 7 – Claimed the goal but was probably an O.G. Will be missed.
