Arsenal Player Ratings Vs Birmingham City

Arsenal impressive run continued as they managed a 3-1 win over a struggling Birmingham City. Arsene Wenger's men continued to play their fast, easy on the eye attacking play of football. Arsenal now moved to fourth and will look to keep their dominant run going as well as their 100% home form.

Here are they player ratings.

Vito Mannone: 6: Despite a clumsy error which lead to Lee Bowyer netting for Birmingham, the Italian was solid and confident.

Emmanuel Eboue: 8: A rare start at right back for the Ivorian. Eboue had a strong showing, defending well down the right hand side and also providing a very healthy option in attack. Some nice crosses and runs cause problems for Alex Mcliesh's back four.

William Gallas: 6.5: The former captain was rarely challenged in the central defence but did well when called upon.

Thomas Vermaelen: 6.5: Was unable to continue his amazing performances in front of goal but did defend solidly.

Kieran Gibbs: 6.5: Arsene Wenger may be correct in saying that the youngster is a future England left back. Despite a few reckless passes the Englishmen was more than useful in attack and his speed and strength were evident whilst defending.

Alexandre Song: 8: Another great performance from the Cameroonian. Cut down the midfield attacks from Birmingham and also provided a stunning pass for van Persie's goal.

Abou Diaby: 7.5: The Frenchmen has been low on form in recent weeks but fortunately he had a strong performance this week. A nice finish got his name engraved on the score card and his long legs and quick feet proved handy.

Cesc Fabregas: 7.5: Some pinpoint passes caused huge problems and he was always evident when a impressive attacking display for Arsenal formed.

Theo Walcott: 6.5: A wreckless tackle saw Theo hobble of injured but when he was on the field he was a dangerous force causing all sorts of problems down the right wing.

Tomas Rosicky: 7: His confidence is growing with each game. Despite being a tad wasteful in front of goal the Czech's speed and intelligence was a problem for the Blues.

Robin van Persie: 8.5: Another terrific performance in which the Dutchmen scored a nice goal. Showed great balance and finishing for his 5th goal of the season.

Substitutes

Andrei Asharvin: 7:  Came on mid way through the first half and ended up scoring a superb goal.

Bacary Sagna: 5.5: Don't understand why Sagna was brought on and not Traore or Ramsey. Wenger probably should of swapped Sagna with Wilshere. None the less Sagna was relatively solid.

Jack Wilshere: N/A:
