Arsenal player ratings against Everton

Alexandre Lacazette's fine second-half strike helped Arsenal to a 2-0 win over Everton in the Premier League at The Emirates on Sunday. The result means Arsenal have won their last five on the bounce having lost their opening two, and sit in sixth place. Here’s Arsenal player ratings. Petr Cech 8 Made a few really important saves in the first half as Arsenal started slowing and made a  fabulous stop to deny Keane in the second half.  Hector Bellerin 6 Struggled throughout against the pace and trickery of Richarlison Shkodran Mustafi 5 Caused Arsenal problems with some poor passing around his own penalty areas. His poor play resulted in Sokratis having to give away the foul that caused his injury. Sokratis 5 Started well enough but was replaced before half-time after getting injured while fouling Theo Walcott. Nacho Monreal 6 Went close to scoring in the first half but was denied by Pickford. Lucas Torreira 7 His excellent interception started the move for Lacazette's goal. Granit Xhaka 6 Played some typically nice passes to spread the play and get Arsenal moving. Aaron Ramsey 6 Ramsey made two assists to help totally transform the game. Mesut Ozil 5 Played a big part in Aubameyang's goal. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 6 Still scored his customary Emirates goal, although it should have been ruled out for offside. Alexandre Lacazette 7 He played his part in the second goal, doing well to send Ozil free. Substitutes Rob Holding 7 Replaced the injured Sokratis before the break and produced a decent display alongside Mustafi. Alex Iwobi 6 One excellent run pressing Everton back earned him a standing ovation. Danny Welbeck 5 No real impact having come on for the final 10 minutes. Saw one shot blocked.
