Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey handed Arsenal a 2-0 win away in Monaco , but it was n't enough as Arsene Wenger 's side crashed out of the Champions League . French striker Giroud struck in the first half to give travelling Arsenal fans a glimmer of hope at the Stade Louis II before Ramsey grabbed a second . However , a resilient Monaco defence refused to let in another and the French side progressed to the next round on the away goals rule . Sportsmail 's Rob Draper was at the game to give the lowdown in France ... Arsenal . David Ospina 6 . So little to do , the Colombian effectively took the evening off for much of the game . Hector Bellerin 5.5 . Loves to get forward , can ’ t be faulted in his running . But still partial to panicky moments in his own penalty area . Monaco 's Portuguese midfielder Joao Moutinho vies with Arsenal 's midfielder Francis Coquelin . Per Mertesacker 6 . In control , assured . A different player altogether to the man who fell apart in the first leg . Laurent Koscielny 6.5 . Almost opened the scoring with a prod on to the bat from very close range . Had less to do at the back . Nacho Monreal 5.5 . Pushed on , got forward , but his delivery on the cross lets him down at times and was exposed at times . Francis Coquelin 6.5 . Taking his enforcer role to heart . Twice he crunched Joao Moutinho in half in the first half but avoided a yellow card . Spanish midfielder Santi Cazorla attempts a special effort during the UEFA Champions League . Santi Cazorla 6.5 . Adequate but not quite the little magician that you were expecting given that he has been Arsenal ’ s best player of late . Alexis Sanchez 5.5 . Strangely lackadaisical in his passing which almost let in Monaco in the eighth minute . Booked – harshly – for a dive . His energy was impressive as ever . Mesut Ozil 7 . Never stopped trying to create , always looking for the killer pass – had an extremely organised Monaco midfield with which he had to contend . Arsenal 's German defender Per Mertesacker vies with Monaco 's French defender Layvin Kurzawa . Danny Welbeck 7 . A veritable bundle of energy , driving into the Monaco penalty area . His pass set up Giroud ’ s goal . Came off on 71 minutes as influence faded . Olivier Giroud 7.5 . Really excellent finish to open the scoring . His reaction and poise once the ball bounced off his head was superb . Redemptive after the first game . Subs . Aaron Ramsey ( for Coquelin 62 ) 7 - Fine reaction and finish when Kurzawa inexplicably gave the ball to him on 79 minutes . Walcott ( for Welbeck 72 ) 6 . Gibbs ( for Monreal 82 ) 6 . Monaco defender Wallace vies with French striker Giroud during the match at Louis II stadium . Manager . Arsene Wenger 7 . Game plan was assured , defence was solid and they gave themselves the chance . It did beg the question why they couldn ’ t have done that in the first leg ? Monaco . Danijel Subasic 8 . Solid taking crosses and produced good saves , notably from Ozil ’ s second half free-kick . Unfortunate for Giroud ’ s goal . Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin vies with Monaco 's French forward Anthony Martial during the match . Fabinho 5 . Struggled to maintain composure at times as Arsenal poured forward . A difficult night . Aymen Abdennour 6.5 . Was the leader at the back , forever cajoling and generally anticipating much of Arsenal ’ s attacking intent . Wallace 6 . Preferred to the much more experienced Ricardo Carvalho and didn ’ t let his side down . Layvin Kurzawa 4 . Looked vulnerable , especially when Welbeck switched to the right . Dreadful error giving the ball away for the second goal . Monaco 's Bulgarian forward Dimitar Berbatov vies with Arsenal 's French midfielder Coquelin . Geoffrey Kondogbia 7.5 . Fought , tackled and ran . Did as much anyone to secure Monaco ’ s passage to the quarters . Jeremy Toulalon 7 . Composed , robust , provided leadership , especially in those tricky final few minutes . Nabil Dirar 7.5 . Remained a threat even with Monaco camped in their own half . Terrific speed and desire . Joao Moutinho 6.5 . Not as influential as the first leg but still fulfilled his duties and brought composure when necessary . Giroud celebrates as he gives Arsenal a glimmer of hope against Monaco at the Louis II stadium . Anthony Martial 5 . Strugled to make an impact and taken of on 59 minutes . Dimitar Berbatov 7 . The touches were just as exquisite as always ; did what he does and then departed after 76 minutes to make way for younger , fitter men . Subs . Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco ( for Martial 59 ) 7 . Bernado Silva ( For Berbatov 76 ) 6 . Nabil Dirar ( for Edelson 85 ) 6 . Arsenal 's Chilean ace Alexis Sanchez vies for the ball with Monaco 's French defender Kurzawa . Manager . Leonardo Jardim 7.5 . So they lost 2-0 – but over two legs Jardim has been masterful . Even last night his team were superbly set up . Ref . Svein Oddvar Moen 6 . Perhaps harsh on booking Alexis Sanchez for diving ; otherwise avoided major controversy for the most part and refereed sensibly .
Giroud fired Arsenal into the lead in half against Monaco . Substitute Ramsey bagged a second as Arsenal dominated . But Monaco goalkeeper Danijel Subasic was in no mood to be beaten again . French side progressed to the next round of the Champions League .
