Arsenal secured a 2-0 win away at Sunderland on Saturday afternoon thanks to a double from Alexis Sanchez, who took full advantage of two defensive mishaps from the hosts to seal the three points.

Here are my ratings from the game:

Szczesny  6/10 | Had very little to do in the opening 45 but earned his wages with a few routine stops as Sunderland pushed for an equaliser.

Gibbs 6.5/10 |  Was having a good game until he was forced off with a hip injury. Hopefully it’s not serious as he’d be a huge miss for us, particularly with the problems we’ve already got at the back.

Chambers 6/10 | Steady display from the youngster but I thought he looked more comfortable when he moved into the center of defence late on.

Mertesacker 6.5/10 | A more composed display than in previous weeks as he made some vital clearances.

Monreal  6.5/10 | Solid game alongside Mertesacker but looked more confident when moved out to the left to replace Gibbs.

Arteta 6/10 | Plays a few too many backwards passes for my liking but he did a job in front of the back four.

Flamini 6/10 | Given a bit more license to roam with Arteta in the team but lacked that bit of quality to make things happen.

The Ox 5/10 | Another disappointing display from Chamberlain. His passing was wasteful all afternoon.

Cazorla 5/10 | Wasted two great chance to get on the score-sheet. Really has to work on his finishing.

Sanchez 8/10 | MOTM once again. His ‘never give up’ attitude is a breath of fresh air and it led to two goals today as he forced mistakes from Brown and Mannone. Really deserves more from his team mates right now.

Welbeck 6/10 | Misses a decent chance with a header but otherwise worked hard up top.

Subs:

Bellerin 6/10 | His pace was useful to get him out of a few tricky situations.

Ramsey N/A | Only on for two minutes

Rosicky N/A | Only on for two minutes
