  Balasz Megyeri

  Young Hungarian goalkeeper was rarely troubled throughout, but managed to deal with everything Arsenal threw at him. Stood no chance of saving Benayoun's lashed volley.

  Giannis Maniatis

  Played energetically in midfield, but would have surely been tested more by the likes of Arteta and Ramsey who were missing for Arsenal.

  François Modesto Top of the Match

  Ran box-to-box and had several chances to get himself on the scoresheet, including a header from short range after Mannone missed a right-wing cross. Finally got a deserved goal prodding in after Mellberg hit the woodwork.

  Olof Mellberg

  Exemplary performance from the former Aston Villa man who nullified almost all threat from Chamakh for the full 90 minutes.

•

  Jose Holebas

  Charged around midfield before clattering Coquelin and being substituted due to an injury picked up in the challenge ten minutes before half-time.

  3.00

  Avraam Papadopoulos

  Picked up an early booking after scything down Frimpong, but otherwise looked comfortable alongside the experienced Mellberg.

  Marcano

  One of several Spanish imports brought in by manager Ernesto Valverde and looked as though he would struggle against Oxlade-Chamberlain early on, but grew into the game as the young winger was starved of possession.

  3.00

  Vasilis Torosidis

  Experienced right-back defended fairly well against the abject Arshavin and was able to bomb forward, doubling up on Santos initially, and then his replacement, Miquel.

  David Fuster

  Generally played well and got his name on the scoresheet, although largely down to Mannone's rush of blood.

  Rafik Zoheir Djebbour

  Battled well with Squillaci and Vermaelen throughout. Took his goal superbly, rounding Fabianski and finishing neatly from an acute angle.

  Kevin Mirallas

  Tricky Belgian attacker hit the side-netting on a number of occasions. Better composure could have seen him come away with a couple of goals.

  Tassos Papazoglou

  Substituted on in injury time as news of Marseille's last gasp win filtered through the stadium.

  Orbaiz

  Experienced Spaniard brought on to replace Holebas and sat in midfield shielding the back four as Arshavin and Oxlade-Chamberlain looked to drift infield.

  Djamel Abdoun

  Fuster's replacement. Buzzed around the midfield well, linking the play neatly on a number of occasions.

  Lukasz Fabianski

  Needlessly rushed off his line for Djebbour's goal and displayed some atrocious kicking before being forced off through injury in the first half.

•

  Thomas Vermaelen

  Solid as ever from the Belgian who continues to show exactly what the Gunners missed in his absence last season.

•

  3.00

  Andre Santos

  Unspectacular game from the Brazilian who continues to look tidy on the ball but uncertain in defence. Substituted just before the hour mark.

•

  2.50

  Sébastien Squillaci

  The former Sevilla defender's appearances are becoming few and far between, and he is unlikely to have given his first-team chances a boost on the basis of this jittery performance.

• 
  24

  82

  2.50

  Johan Djourou

  Played at right-back and looked nervy, particularly when on the ball. Managed to use his pace and strength to get him out of tough situations at times.

•

  2.00

  Andrey Arshavin

  Possibly one of the most frustrating footballers to watch. The Russian's undoubted ability is often masked behind poor work-rate. Seemed to remain in second gear throughout the match.

•

  2.50

  Emmanuel Frimpong

  Tough-tackling midfielder marched around the midfield and was perhaps lucky not to pick up a second caution later on in the match after being booked on the hour.

•

  3.50

  Yossi Benayoun

  Israeli international will have done his first-team chances no harm with a typically committed performance. Showcased his superb technique to volley in the Gunners' consolation goal.

•

  3.00

  Francis Coquelin

  French youngster had a steady game in the midfield holding role before being replaced by Rosicky as Arsenal sought a way back into the match.

•

  3.00

  Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

  His performance mirrored his Arsenal career to date; impressive in glimpses, but was unable to fully impose himself on the game.

•

  2.00

  Marouane Chamakh Flop of the Match

  Outpaced, outthought and outmuscled at almost every turn. Arsene Wenger will be desperate for options up front given Robin van Persie's fragility, but the Moroccan looked barely half the player the Dutchman is at the moment.

Substitutions

• 
  32

  98

  1.50

  Vito Mannone

  Replaced Fabianski and proved to be just as calamitous as the Pole, bizarrely attempting to scissor kick Fuster's effort when inside his own area and where a simple catch would have sufficed.

• 
  99

  3.00

  Ignasi Miquel

  Brought on for Santos and looked comfortable on the ball, tough in the tackle and willing to break forward form left-back.

•

  3.00

  Tomas Rosicky

  Summoned from the bench for the final quarter of the game but failed to spark the Gunners into life as they slipped to defeat.
