Arsenal 1-2 Birmingham City Player Ratings

Arsenal disappointingly threw away their chance to end the trophy drought at Wembley on Sunday. It was a brilliant game that ended with a defensive error costing Arsenal the victory the players and fans came to Wembley to get.

Wojciech Szczesny 5/10
Didn't have a good game and will need to be bounce back. Should have been sent off at the start of the match and also contirbuted to the winner at the end. He has the talent and confidence however to continue to be a top goalkeeper.

Bacary Sagna 5.5/10
Mr Reliable wasn't at his best against Birmingham but did make a couple of important tackles throughout.

Laurent Koscielny 4/10
He has been superb recentely but a lack of concentration cost him and the side on Sunday. Like Szczesny he has the ability to bounce back and continue to play at the top level.

Gael Clichy 5/10
Very poor from the Frenchman. His positioning was awful throughout and will need to improve to keep his place in the side ahead of Kieran Gibbs.

Alex Song 5.5/10
Failed to dominate the midfield, despite doing so for every other game this season.

Jack Wilshere 8/10
A truly superb performance from the youngster. He ran the Arsenal midfield in the absence of Cesc and nearly scored a superb goal. If any of the players deserved a winners medal it was Wilshere.

Tomas Rosicky 4.5/10
Looked lost and didn't contribute at all offensively.

Samir Nasri 7.5/10
A good game for the Frenchman, one of our better players going forward.

Robin Van Persie 7.5/10
Scored a fabulous goal but that was all he did for the side. He's also now injured, which is a huge blow for the team.

Andrey Arshavin 7.5/10
A strong energetic performance from the Russian.

Man of the Match: Jack Wilshere
He ran the midfield and nearly scored a superb goal. An incredible showing from a 19 year old, one can only imagine how good he will be in his prime years.
