Joe Hart (goalkeeper): 7.5
Solid as ever. Not much he could have done with either goal but was quick to smother Juan Mata at one point, although a poor kick led to Cazorla’s goal. With his place perhaps under threat from the in-form Jack Butland, he will need to keep performing.

Goals from Mario Suarez – a quite stupendous overhead kick – and Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla sealed a deserved win for the hosts, with Roy Hodgson’s men left chasing shadows for much of the 90 minutes.
