Post Match Reaction: Marseille (A)

Aaron Ramsey's last gasp winner gave us a vital three points in France as we soared to the top of our Champions League group after a solid professional display.

Positives:
Another victory was key as the morale in the squad keeps on rising, and an away win at the home of a side of such pedigree is a great message to send out to rivals that we're on our way back to top form. Ramsey's goal was a demonstration of the massive potential the Welshman possesses and a clean sheet was a fair reward for a solid defensive display.

Negatives:
At times, we looked vulnerable from set pieces. With 5 goals conceded from free-kicks so far this season (the most in the league), it's a worry that players like Mertesacker aren't stepping up and leading us in these situations.

Conclusion:
A fantastic victory on the road in the Champions League has seen us top our group and Wenger will be hoping for more of the same in two weeks time as the French side visit the Emirates
