A320 One engine out

Hello;

Today we responded to our stand-by positions (ARFF) for a A320 with one engine out (#1) because of oil pressure loss. The aircraft landed with one engine out and the thrust reversers were used on #2.

The pilot demonstrated outstanding airmanship since the landing was very smooth and no hot brakes situation ensued.

When an A320 lands in that type of situation, does the use of the thrust reverser on one side of the aircraft creates an assymetric thrust or is it standard procedures? What is the recommended landing speed when one engine is out and how much runway one can expect the aircraft to use?

Sincerely;
