Here is a look at how the Arsenal and Celtic players fared in the Champions League game at the Emirates.
By Eugene YS Han
Arsenal dominated a scrappy game against Celtic and pulled off a 3-1 victory at the Emirates.
ARSENAL
Almunia: 6
Had nothing much to do. Was well protected by his defenders.
Sagna: 7
Bombed forward with every chance.
Vermaelen: 7
Able to repel any aerial balls from Celtic.
Gallas: 7
Solid in defence and even had time to join in the attack.
Clichy: 7
Kept McGeady and Fortune quiet on the left.
Eboue: 7
Again showed that he is as talented as he is petulant on the pitch.
Song: 6
Made some mistimed tackles.
Denilson: 6
Tried to link up play in the final third of the field but lacked the assurance of Fabregas.
Bendtner: 6
Missed a great chance to put Arsenal two up on the stroke of half-time. But he was involved in two Arsenal goals.
Eduardo: 6
Caught the eye with a couple of great touches but marred his display by diving to win the penalty against Celtic. Also missed a great chance to score in the 8th minute.
Diaby: 5
A passenger but helped create Eboue's goal.
Substitutes:
Ramsey: 6
Arshavin: 7
Came on for Eduardo and scored a tidy goal.
Wilshere: 6
Subs not used: Mannone, van Persie, Silvestre, Traore.
CELTIC
Boruc: 6
Unlucky to concede the penalty when Eduardo fell with minimal contact. Did well to claw away Eduardo's curling effort on 44 minutes.
Hinkel: 5
Skinned by Clichy a few times in the match and never looked comfortable.
Caldwell: 5
Never got to grips with Eduardo - picked up a booking when he cynically chopped down Eboue. Taken off at half-time.
Loovens: 5
Fox: 6
Able to hold his own on Celtic's left side.
McGeady: 7
The focal point of Celtic but was closed down quickly.
Brown: 5
Was overran by Arsenal's midfielders
Donati: 5
Did more defending than attacking which isn't his strength. Scored Celtic's consolation goal with a well-taken volley.
Maloney: 5
Anonymous
McDonald: 5
Like Brown, struggled to hold Celtic's midfield.
Fortune: 4
Woefully out of his depth.
Substitutes:
O'Dea, Flood, Naylor.
Subs not used: Zaluska, Samaras, McCourt, Killen.
