Anyukov: 6 - Defended well, but didn't venture forward as much as his opposite full-back. Supported Ziryanov when called upon.

Denisov: 6.5 - Kept things ticking well enough that Hiddink thought he could marshall central midfield on his own as Semak went off.

Ziryanov: 6 - Held the ball well and delivered a few choice crosses. Moved well during build-up play.

Arshavin: 5 - Poor play from the Arsenal star. Arshavin just was not at the races today, looking slow on the ball and passing in a sloppy manner.

Pavlyuchenko: 7 - Assisted Bilyaletdinov for the first goal, produced some wonderful hold-up play and almost netted himself a goal on a few occasions. Had he been playing more with Tottenham, one has to wonder if 'Big Pav' could have made tonight a bit of a nightmare for the visitors.

Bystrov: 6 - Made a nuisance of himself after being introduced at the expense of Sergei Semak. Made life difficult for Jokic.

Sychev: 4 - Entered the fray with very little time left and managed to get himself in the ref's book after only being on the pitch for less than a minute.
