Image for Swansea 0-3 Arsenal – who was YOUR Man of the Match?

ArsenalArsenal came away from the Liberty Stadium yesterday with all three points.

But who was your Man of the Match?

Here is my Arsenal player ratings:

Petr Cech – Commanding, confident and reliable when called on. 7/10

Hector Bellerin – Showed his desire and commitment by busting a gut to block Bafetimbi Gomis’ effort in the first-half. Improving game by game. 7/10

Per Mertesacker – Some bad positioning led to some Swansea chances but recovered after. 6/10

Laurent Koscielny – Was superb at both ends of the field and put the Gunners up 2-0 by being in the right place at the right time. 7.5/10

Nacho Monreal – Kept Andre Ayew quiet and wasn’t really troubled throughout. 7/10

Francis Coquelin – Effective at breaking up play and starting moves from his defensive midfield role. 6/10

Santi Cazorla – Didn’t look heavily involved but kept things neat and tidy in midfield. 6/10

Joel Campbell – Good movement with the ball but struggled to make an impact until he slotted home Arsenal’s third. 6.5/10

Mesut Ozil – Although it looked like he wasn’t even on the pitch, the German bagged all three assists. 7/10

Alexis Sanchez – Ran his socks off but the final product just wasn’t there. 6/10

Olivier Giroud – Sluggish first half for the Frenchman but got better as the game wore on. Showed good link-up play and recovered from his knock to head home the opener. 7/10

SUBS

Calum Chambers – On for Giroud in the 83rd minute. With the game wrapped up, Arsene Wenger put the youngster on to get the cleansheet. 5/10

Kieran Gibbs – Replaced Campbell in 83rd minute. Got a few touches on the ball. 5/10

Alex Iwobi – On for Ozil with a minute to spare. 5/10
