CARLING CUP FINAL RATINGS

ARSENAL

MANUEL ALMUNIA - Little chance with Chelsea's goal, otherwise the Spaniard produced another solid display. 7.

JUSTIN HOYTE - Did not look out of place and slotted comfortably into the defence, as has done when asked this season. 7.

KOLO TOURE - Captain for the day had lead by example until the closing moments, when he was sent off for his involvement in melee following clash with Mikel Jon Obi. 5.

PHILIPPE SENDEROS - Much improved display on his return to the Millennium Stadium. More of a test for Didier Drogba this time around, but the Ivory Coast striker had the final say. 7.

ARMAND TRAORE - Young French right-back got forward well, particularly in the first half. Quick recovery when needed. 7.

ABOU DIABY - Involved in pure accidental clash with John Terry, which ended England captain's game. Clearly upset, the French midfielder was withdrawn soon afterwards. 6.

CESC FABREGAS - Another impressive performance from the young Spaniard. Sent in plenty of long-range efforts and pinpoint passes. Tainted performance with involvement in late melee. 7.

DENILSON - Effective, if unspectacular, display from the young Brazilian in his first major English final. 6.

THEO WALCOTT - Brilliantly executed opening goal for the Gunners in the first half. Continued to look dangerous, but could have produced more telling passes. 7.

JEREMIE ALIADIERE - Full of running and was a handful for the Chelsea defence, but often held onto the ball a fraction too long. 6.

JULIO BAPTISTA - The 'Beast' used his power well, and forced a fine early save from Petr Cech. Influence faded as match wore on. 7.
