Penalty decision was harsh but yet again that was awful. Lack of rotation an issue yet again. Wenger out.
Cech - 6. Came for a number of crosses in the first half. Wasn't really tested in the second half but failed to keep a 200th clean sheet thanks to a dodgy penalty decision.
Chambers - 7. Nervy start before settling down. Harsh penalty decision.
Mustafi - 7. Pick of the defence with another all action display.
Koscielny - 6. Okay without ever really being tested.
Bellerin - 5. Failed to build on an improved performance last time out. Sloppy in possession and didn't offer enough going forward.
Xhaka - 6. Decent enough on the ball. Almost played Alexis in with one quality pass in the second half.
Wilshere - 7. Looked the most like making something happen. Good on the ball, passionate.
Kolasinac - 5. Struggled against Phillips before limping off.
Iwobi - 6. Came close to scoring twice. Always wanted the ball.
Lacazette - 6. Lively enough despite little support or service.
Alexis - 5.5. Barely noticed he was playing till he scored. Dropped too deep.
Subs:
Maitland-Niles - 6. Slotted in well.
Mertesacker - 6. Okay.
Welbeck - N/A. Not on long.
