Arsenal were unlucky to take only a point away from Stamford Bridge in the end, as the Gunners put in a very solid big away performance for once.
We’re going to take you through how we think each player did in the early Sunday kick-off, below:
Defence
Petr Čech – 8
Didn’t have too many saves to make but when he did he was faultless, and did well to control Monreal’s powerful back pass with his chest rather than concede an indirect free kick in the box.
Laurent Koscielny – 8
The most solid of Arsenal’s three centre-backs, Koscielny was pivotal to Arsenal’s clean sheet. Winning 80% of his aerial duels despite facing one of the best aerial players in Morata, as well as making four interceptions, a couple of blocks and a few clearances, Arsenal should be thankful they had Laurent available.
Shkodran Mustafi – 5
Almost caught out after a mistake letting Morata get behind him in the first 45, fortunately Monreal was on hand to recover the situation. He also played Pedro onside and only a good recovery run by Koscielny saved the situation that time.
In the second half he was more solid and scored an offside goal, but in the end that was just another example of him failing to hold a good line. A mixed game at best.
Nacho Monreal – 7
Played well generally, did fire one back at Petr Čech but luckily the Arsenal keeper was awake to the danger. Similar to Koscielny he made four interceptions, and a couple of blocks, along with four clearances and won 75% of his aerial duels despite his height. A good response to Paul Merson’s pre-match comments.
