RATINGS: Sanchez Shines Again As Arsenal Beat Hull 2-0

By on January 4, 2015

Arsenal eased through to the fourth round of the FA Cup after beating Hull 2-0 at the Emirates this evening thanks to goals from Per Mertesacker and Alexis Sanchez.

Here are my ratings:

Ospina – 6.5/10 – Had very little to do in terms of shot-stopping but looked calm and assured.

Bellerin – 6/10 – Solid enough at the back but a little wasteful in the final third when he got forward.

Chambers  – 6.5/10 – Steady display in the middle of defence against a poor Hull attack.

Mertesacker – 7/10 – Took his goal well. He really should be more dangerous more often from set-pieces with his height. No problems at the back.

Monreal – 6.5/10 – Made a couple of important interceptions. Useful on the ball too.

Coquelin – 6.5/10 – Impressive in parts as he put himself about and made some good challenges. However, lucky not to get sent off for a two footed lunge.

Rosicky – 7.5/10 – Very positive on the ball and made some surging runs at the Hull defence. He’s been a key player for us of late.

Cazorla – 8/10 – Another excellent display from the little Spaniard. Always looked dangerous and set up the Sanchez goal with a neat pass.

Walcott – 6.5/10 – Understandably rusty in front of goal as he missed a couple of golden chances to score, but his movement was excellent and the timing of his runs was on point.

Campbell – 5.5/10 – Missed a great chance to open the scoring early on and another in the 60th minute when he dragged wide. Showed why he’s still on the fringes of the first team.

Alexis – 9/10 – Outstanding once again. Sanchez never stopped working for the team and capped off his display with a superb goal. Where would we be without him?

Subs:

The Ox – 5/10 – On for the last 15 minutes and looked to picked up a knee knock. Hopefully it’s nothing serious.

Maitland-Niles N/A

So we’re safely through to the fourth round and it was a routine win in the end, but the big story is the brilliance of Sanchez.
