Arsenal eased to a 2-0 away win over Manchester City on Sunday afternoon courtesy of goals from Santi Cazorla and Olivier Giroud. NEIL ASHTON provides an assessment of each player at the Etihad Stadium. MANCHESTER CITY: Joe Hart - Went the right way for Cazorla penalty, but it was struck hard and true. Appeared to have no chance with Giroud strike in second half. 6 Pablo Zabaleta - Poor in the first half, barely got forward into his customary attacking positions. 5.5 Vincent Kompany - Could not believe he had conceded a penalty. Later booked for foul on Giroud. 5
