Player ratings : Arsenal vs Swansea

Szezesney - 8/10 for a clean sheet and a world class save. Made a mistake during one of the corners of Swansea but thank god the opponent struck high and handsome.

Sagna - 8/10 . Another solid performance from the trusty defender . Made the useful runs down the wings and useful tackles as well.

Mertesacker - 9/10 . An impressive debut for the tall German international. Made quite a few brilliant tackles without being booked .

Koscielny - 9/10. Strong performance from the Kozzer . In the absence of Vermaelan he marshalled the defence perfectly.

Gibbs - 8/10. An able replacement for Clichy . Delivered some good balls to the box and made brilliant runs and assisted the midfielders as well. Will be interesting once Santos is match fit .

Walcott - 6/10. Though he may have unknowingly set up the goal that Arshavin scored he had a poor game. Expecting much more from Walcott at this point of his career .

Ramsey - 6/10 . Like Walcott he had another mediocore game. Sometimes he doesnt know when to pass the pass and where to pass the ball .

Arteta - 9/10. Another debutant. Another impressive performance . Made a lot of contact with the ball and made good passes. Blended in with the team with ease . It looked like he had been playing with this team for a long time. Hopping for more better things from him this season.

Frimpong - 8/10. Had a typical Frimpong game. A good strong midfield performance . Songs starting place looks so much in danger with this youngster putting in good performances.

Arshavin - 10/10 . A brilliant game from the little Russian . Scored the winning goal and looked full of confidencce. Looks like our Russian champion is back to form. Can only mean great things for Arsenal FC .

van Persie - 7/10. An off day but nevertheless played his part. He missed two chances and hit the post once. But he is capable of doing much more than that

Overall it was a good performace from Arsenal. Not great , just good. Good enough to get the 3 points they so badly wanted. Things can only get better with Gervinho and Song coming in for the next game. Wilshere and Vermaelan will be out for atleast one month.

Now to look forward to Tuesday night . Dortmund , here we come ...
