Arsenal player ratings for Man Utd draw – Koscielny MOTM

Although Arsenal responded well to a poor first half to get a deserved equalising goal through Theo Walcott, I think the main reason we came away from Old Trafford with a point was that we only conceded once while Man United were all over us, so I am giving the Man of the Match to Laurent Koscielny who just shaded Mertesacker.

Ospina 6 – Can´t fault him for goal and was generally alert, calm and collected.

Bellerin 5 – Struggled against the impressive Young and at fault for Herrera´s goal but did produce that blistering pace and covering tackle.

Mertesacker 7 – Dealt with everything and marshalled defence well.

Koscielny 7.5 – Like the BFG but a bit sharper into tackles and a bit more aggressive.

Monreal 5 – Like Bellerin was at fault for the goal and that makes two games in a row.

Coquelin 6 – Generally did well to stem the tide and keep us in the game.

Cazorla 5 – Struggled to have any impact.

Alexis 6 – Did some good things but not enough.

Ozil 6 – Like the team, recovered well after a poor start.

Ramsey 7 – Much better in the middle and gave United big problems.

Giroud 6 – Some good flicks and tricks but missed chances.

subs:

Walcott 6 – Good movement and effect but some fortune with the goal.

Wilshere 6 – Looked sharp again.
