Arsenal vs. Bolton: Player Ratings

Manuel Almunia (6): Again looked nervy at times. Was quite a boring match for the shot stopper but did do the job when needed.

Bacary Sagna (6.5): Not his strongest performance but did what was asked of him.

Johan Djourou (7.5): A solid game from the youngster. Defended well and looked confident against the Bolton forwards.

Kolo Toure (7.5): Like his center half partner was solid and confident and could have easily got his name on the score sheet.

Gael Clichy (7): Set up van Persie who set up Bendtner for the winner. Kept Davies quiet for most of the game and proved useful in attack.

Emmanuel Eboue (6): Did not really spark anything and did not appear confident with the ball.

Denilson (6.5): His passes were astray and he was lazy in defence. Showed some flashes, though.

Abou Diaby (6): No surprise to see him substituted as it was a mediocre performance.

Samir Nasri (8): Was impressive and creative. His passing was superb and easily should have had a goal or assist to his name.

Robin van Persie (8): Another top performance from the in-form Dutchman. Created chances for himself and was unlucky not to have a goal.

Emmanuel Adebayor (6): He looked shy and hesitant when near goal.

Substitutes

Carlos Vela (6): For once got a chance to play and he did not do too badly.

Nicklas Bendtner (7): Scored a beautiful goal and got Arsenal home.

Aaron Ramsey: N/A
