For the most part, we were excellent. A few Song elaborations aside, we were solid, professional and, personified by Arteta, mature. In the past, we have made suicidal errors to hand the points to a team we have completely dominated.

Apart from the goal, Arteta controlled the middle and made up for some of Song's madness by keeping it simple and also driving forward when he had opportunity. Rosicky was constantly buzzing around and injecting pace into our game.

Defence was rarely troubled and Vermaelen made up for last week somewhat by giving one of his best performances this season. Szczesny, apart from a poor kick in the first half, completely commanded his area and took everything in the air.

RVP should have scored a few again, but at least he's getting the chances rather than being worn out, which you'd usually expect.

Ramsey needs a Bolton loan to sort it out.
