Arsenal 0-0 Sporting Lisbon: 5 Hits and Flops

#3 Hit: Marcos Acuna

Acuna kept tight to the likes of Mkhitaryan and Smith-Rowe, making it increasingly tough for them

Probably would have put Jeremy Mathieu in this list here, but for the Frenchman's tactical sending off late on.

So in his place comes teammate Marcos Acuna, who was Sporting's best performer on a busy evening - the Argentine relished the challenge and even got a booking for his troubles.

He completed two dribbles: the only Sporting player to do so, while his defensive work was standout too. He completed a game-high five tackles, made two clearances and committed two fouls too, which comes with the territory when playing against a side of Arsenal's quality away from home.

An encouraging display from the 27-year-old, who is enjoying a productive season across all competitions - particularly in the Europa League.
