Arsenal made hard work of their game against relegation fodder, Stoke, on Easter Sunday.
The match was dire for the first hour until Alexandre Lacazette’s introduction sparked Arsenal into life.
But on a day of poor performances across the team, did anyone stand out?
2Midfield
Mohamed Elneny 6.5
Elneny did what Elneny does. A solid, stable and industrious afternoon from the Egyptian and while not everything he tried came off, he never stopped trying.
Was replaced by Granit Xhaka after 75 minutes.
Aaron Ramsey 7
Another Arsenal midfielder with an engine that could, Ramsey showed no signs of having undergone surgery during the interlull. Cracking the ball against the bar with a delightfully cheeky effort, there was to be no fourth goal against the Potters for Ramsey.
Jack Wilshere 5
Handed the captain’s armband once again, which Arsene Wenger insists is not a bribe to convince him to sign a new deal but is 100% a bribe to get him to sign a new deal.
Looked sluggish and like he’d been out of action for a few months rather than a few weeks.
Was replaced by Henrikh Mkhitaryan just after Arsenal scored their first from the penalty spot.
