Ratings v Aston Villa

Szczesny 6 - could do little about the goals, unlucky not to save the first

Sagna 6 - ok but not at his best, played most of the game left back
Mertesacker 4 - awful from todays captain
Koscielny 6 - wrongly sent off
Gibbs 5 - ok but off early with a head injury

Ramsey 5 - did not dominate
Wilshere 5 - did not dominate and got wound up too easily
Rosicky 5 - buzzes like a bee but stings like a butterfly

Walcott 4 - devoid of any service
Giroud 6 - took his goal well, little service after that
Oxlade-chamberlain 5 - set up the goal for Giroud but little else came off for him, taken off at HT

subs
Jenkinson 6 - ok
Cazorla 4 - awful, kept giving away the ball far too easily
