# Arsenal Player Ratings: Sporting CP (A)

Danny Welbeck netted the only goal as Arsenal came away from Sporting CP with a 1-0 win in the Europa League.

The Gunners extended their winning run to 11 games in all competitions as they cast aside a stern test from their Portuguese counterparts.

Arsenal struggled to break down the resolute back-line of Sporting in the first half but came close on two occasions shortly after the interval through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Sporting continued to defend well but their resistance was eventually breached, as Welbeck coolly slotted home Arsenal’s ultimately decisive goal.

Here are our player ratings for the Gunners.
