Ratings 2…and only one man of match!

C and H ratings regular  Niall MDonald hands out his marks

Fabianski: Couple of regulation saves. Didn’t look 100% comfortable dealing with a number of back passes 6
Zabaleta: Another high-quality performance at the back 7
Diop: Several crucial challenges and interventions 7
Ogbonna: Pretty solid display from Angelo today, only a few nervy moments 6
Cresswell: When Anderson plays as well as today, Cresswell has the left-side is tied down pretty effectively 7
Rice: Bailed Ogbonna and Cresswell out in the first 9 minutes. Gave quite brilliant display capped with his first, and winning, goal 10
Noble: A typically committed London Derby performance from the skipper 7
Nasri: Impressive; despite a long absence he looked to have the pace of the game from the start. An excellent signing on this evidence 8
Antonio: Couple of long-distance driving runs in an otherwise solid performance 7
Anderson: Creativity AND application. Really put a shift in 8
Arnautovic: Happy to play or made to play? Either way, if this was his farewell it wasn’t one to live long in the memory 5

Subs
Snodgrass: An excellent option off the bench. Plenty of energy, and pulled Arsenal defenders around well 6
Carroll: Dare I say, starting to look a bit more like his old self? Some excellent hold-up play 6
Obiang: Bolstered the midfield late on 4
