Borussia Dortmund vs Arsenal: Player Ratings

Arsenal

Wojciech Szczesny: Kept out a Reus header earlier in second half. Parried Kuba shot and lucky follow-up from Reus offside, but a clean sheet is a clean sheet. 6/10. Bacary Sagna: Up and down the right flank as ever. A decent away performance. 6/10. Per Mertesacker: Good challenge on Lewandowski early on, snuffed out danger. Came so close to nodding in a cross and headed a Cazorla free kick onto the roof of the net. Great aerial presence as expected. Our man of the match. 7.5/10. Laurent Koscielny: Defended well, took no chances. Got clattered by Weidenfeller for his trouble in the opposition penalty area. Just outshone by partner Mertesacker. 7/10. Kieran Gibbs: Caught out of position early on and made a poor tackle on Kuba. Still needs to get back quicker. 5.5/10. Aaron Ramsey: Forced a goal over the line with his head. Had a chance to get a second, but saved by Weidenfeller. Successful season continues and long may these breaks from a deep-lying berth continue. 6.5/10. Mikel Arteta: Booked early on, but recovered with another careful and elegant sweeping up in front of back four. 6/10. Click next for the rest of the Arsenal player ratings including subs.
