Arsenal 2-1 Manchester City player ratings: Who was YOUR man of the match at the Emirates?
Cuttyskaz was particularly impressed with assist-king Ozil as he shone again - setting up both Walcott and Giroud
Arsenal closed the gap on leaders Leicester with a huge victory over Manchester City at the Emirates.
The Gunners scored twice in quick succession before the break as Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud both beat Joe Hart after Mesut Ozil assists.
Arsenal had chances to add to their tally but couldn't find a way past Joe Hart before Yaya Toure set up a grandstand finale with a fine curling effort.
Our man John Cross was particularly impressed with assist-king Ozil as he shone again.
Here are his complete player ratings.
Bellerin 6 - Has had a dip in form, struggled at times.
Mertesacker 7 - Good defensive headers, strong performance.
Koscielny 7 - Brought the ball out of defence well, solid at the back.
Monreal 7 - Another good display from left back, defending and attacking raids.
Flamini 6 - Shrugged off an ankle problem to play, did well.
Delight: Ramsey celebrates with Walcott
Walcott 8 - Fabulous finish for the opening goal. Breathtaking.
Ozil 9 - MOTM . Two more assists for Arsenal’s chief provider.
