Man Utd 1-0 Arsenal: Player Ratings

Media Image LtdAaron Ramsey: Hesitated when presented with a glimmer of the United goal. Put himself about, however, but not as threatening as in other games. 5.5/10. Mesut Ozil: Tried to get Gunners going with one-two with Giroud second half. Nobody broke beyond him. Shot into side-netting from tight angle. 5.5/10. Santi Cazorla: Seen clutching at his knee and hobbling in the second half. Only injury could excuse such a poor showing on this big stage. Subbed. 3/10. Olivier Giroud: RVP got the jump on him to nod home. Headed over at the other end. Tackled in box by Smalling when he should have shot earlier. Not a good day at the office for French striker sadly. 4.5/10. Subs: Jack Wilshere: Wenger risked his dodgy ankle and on for half an hour. Contributed little else other than being booked for bringing down Evra. 4/10. Nicklas Bendtner: Got 15 minutes and fell over instead of connecting with a fabulous Sagna cross in stoppage time. Rating N/A. Serge Gnabry: Came on too late to make an impact. Rating N/A. Who was your man of the match? Have your say in the comments section below.
