A draw turned out to be a good result after a limp first half in which things could have been much worse, surprisingly it was the replacement of Sanchez that saw things turn around. Giroud missed his usual number of chances before getting the all important goal. Anyway it was a better result than last year's fixture. Well enough from me, Eduardo's ratings follow:
Szczesny 6 - ok, little he could do about the goals
Debuchy 7 - good game
Chambers 6 - ok, but a couple of shaky moments
Mertesacker 6 - ok but a couple of shaky moments
Monreal 6 - ok, delightful cross for assist of our second goal
Flamini 4 - no impact
Ramsey 6.5 - poor game, got a goal
Wilshere 5.5 - little impact
Oxlade-Chamberlain 5 - lively but shooting was awful, five shots all off target in the first half
Alexis 5 - lively but ineffective
Ozil 4 - poor game
Subs
Giroud 7 - improved us a lot and got our second goal
Cazorla 6 - great assist for our first goal
Campbell 5 - some nice touches
