How Arsenal players fared last night – My ratings

|

Alex Song – His booking in the 7th minute led to a cautious performance. Nevertheless, he did well tracking runners. Was substituted in the 69th minute – 7/10

Jack Wilshere – The best game I’ve seen Wilshere play in an Arsenal shirt so far. The 19-year-old got stuck in, his passing ration was superb, and just got better and better as the game wore on…made Xavi and Iniesta look anonymous. A very close second for the man of the match award – 8/10

Cesc Fabregas – His dinked ball over the Barca back-line to find Van Persie in the first half was class. A great captains performance, but looked tired as the game progressed – 8/10




Theo Walcott – His electrifying pace frightened Barcelona all night. Was a constant threat, but faded in latter stages of the game. Nevertheless, a really inspiring display from Walcott – 7/10

Samir Nasri – Not his usual self due to his swift return from injury, but managed to find Arshavin for Arsenal’s second – 7/10

Robin Van Persie – Scored from an unthinkable angle to equalise for the Gunners. Really professional performance from the lone striker – 8/10

Nicklas Bendtner (Sub) – On for Theo in the 77th minute, but rarely touched the ball. Had a chance to set up Arshavin for a late chance on goal, but decided to go for glory – 5/10

Andrey Arshavin (Sub) – Would have been upset not to start the match, but the little Russian proved to be Arsenal’s super-sub. Scored the winner – 8/10

    I think they all had a good game against Barca. But for me though the best player was Wilshere followed by Koscielny. They had solid performances and really played well in there respective positions.
