BORUSSIA DORTMUND 0-1 ARSENAL: PLAYER RATINGS Dortmund got diddled to put Arsenal in a strong position in their Champions League group. Here’s how the players rated. Wojciech Szczesny: 8/10 – Made two big second half saves, from Reus and Bllakvlclakclakysksllski, which kept the scores level. He’s become very important to the team this season. Bacary Sagna: 7/10 – Solid, gave it everything as usual. Per Mertesacker: 8/10 – Some fantastic tackling, great heading and reading of the game, and was in no way lucky not to give away a penalty late on. Lewandowski got exactly what he deserved for his diving all night. Laurent Koscielny: 8/10 – Magic again. Got absolutely flattened by Weidenfeller and should have had a penalty. After coming back on he made two outstanding clearances inside 10 seconds. Sums him up. Kieran Gibbs: 7/10 – Didn’t get forward much, and left a bit exposed at times, but did well overall. Mikel Arteta: 7/10 – Got an early yellow but showed his experience as Lewandowski tried to get him a second yellow. Made some important clearances. Tomas Rosicky: 8/10 – Ran his floppy-haired hole off again, always looking to press, made about 156 sliding tackles and was well involved in the Arsenal goal. Aaron Ramsey: 7/10 – Once more a bit quiet but you just can’t stop this man scoring. Brave header too. Santi Cazorla: 7/10 – Found little to work with from an attacking point of view but worked hard. Mesut Ozil: 7/10 – Gave the ball away a lot, sometimes in quite dangerous areas, but also gave us our best outlet at times. Enigmatic. Olivier Giroud: 7/10 – Put himself about but found it hard to keep hold of the ball. Big, big header for the Arsenal goal, that’s another assist for him for this season. Subs Nacho Monreal: 6/10 – He’s a very useful substitute, providing good defensive cover in games like these. Thomas Vermaelen: n/a– Not on long enough Nicklas Bendtner: n/a – Not on long enough #love
