On Saturday evening, Arsenal faced Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final. Here are the player ratings from the 2-0 victory.

In their greatest performance in many years, Arsenal fought brilliantly to upset the FA Cup champions, Manchester City, to secure their place in the final. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice on the counter-attack, while Mikel Arteta’s defensive work on the training ground was clear to see as a disciplined and well-drilled defence repelled the waves of City attacks with relative comfort. It was a superb performance that now gives the Gunners the chance of a trophy and route into Europe.

Here are the player ratings from the brilliant 2-0 victory.

Goalkeeper

8.0. Low down to his left and with the strength to hold onto the ball, his save to deny Riyad Mahrez’s shot early in the second half was sensational. Commanded his area brilliantly, distributed beautifully, and showed superb game management in the closing stages to kill the game. He is turning into a top-class goalkeeper.. GK. Arsenal. EMI MARTINEZ
