Lukasz Fabianski 7.5
The number one shirt holder of Arsenal looked calm and composed and did what he can do. The Polish shot-stopper was not at mistake in any of the goals and was unfortunate to concede. He was not helped much by his defenders. He had a decent game and made
some important saves too
Bacary Sagna 7.5
An exceptional performance from the veteran right back of Arsenal, as they outstanding covered the main threat of opposition, Gareth Bale. The French defender made some strong challenges in a display full of feistiness and commitment He was just outstanding
at the back.
Sebastien Squillaci 6.5
The summer signing of Arsenal was at fault for Tottenham’s first goal, which opened the floodgates for the stunning comeback. He needed to show greater fight and drive.
Laurent Koscielny 5
Another summer signing of Arsenal was not at his best against Spurs and without a doubt was the worst performer for the Gunners. He was back from three matches ban suspension yet he made some horrifying tackles and also missed an open header to put his team
in command.
Gael Clichy 6.5
The Frenchman commanded his area and also helped in attack. Unlike his team mates, he was energetic throughout the ninety minutes. His surging runs down the left blank helped Arshavin most of the time.
Alexandre Song Bilong 6.5
The veteran defensive midfielder was creative and solid in the first half when Arsenal was in control but he faded in the second just like his team mates.
Denilson 6.5
The Samba star was given the starting eleven place and along with that a daunting task of keeping Van der Vaart quite which he eventually did. Denilson covered the former Real Madrid man exceptionally well and did not let the Dutch midfielder to create any
problems. But just like rest of his team, he also disappeared after the first half and Van der Vaart prevailed, which cost Arsenal dearly.
Samir Nasri 7.5
The young French prodigy was once again a stand out performer for the Gunners and currently is the best player of Arsenal. He, once again, managed to impress and even scored the first goal of the match from an extremely impossible angle. The French midfielder
was substituted in later stages of the match and Theo Walcott came in his place.
Cesc Fabregas 8
It was yet another majestic performance from the Spaniard; no doubt, he was at his best against Spurs. He was the most creative and influential player of the Gunners and orchestrated almost all Arsenal attacks. It was Fabregas, who behind the both goals
of Arsenal, he played a tremendous through ball toward Nasri for the first goal. Then, Cesc counter attacked and set up Chamakh for the second goal of the Gunners.
Andrey Arshavin 7.5
The veteran left winger of Arsenal had a decent game. He proved to be a nightmare for the opposition’s right back because of his exceptional ball control and trickery. But he was no different than his team mates and faded up in the second half. Tomas Rosicky
was brought in for Arshavin in the dying stages of the match.
Marouane Chamakh 7.5
The former Boudreaux striker had a decent game. The towering Moroccan scored the second goal for the Gunners from inside the box but like his rest of the team, he completely disappeared in second half. He was rightly substituted in the 70th minute
and Robin Van Persie took his place.
