Kolasinac has been a regular but non-flamboyant member of the Arsenal defence since arriving in 2017 and has discharged his duties effectively with minimum fuss.

Having started the season out of the first-team picture owing to the carjacking incident involving him and Mesut Ozil, the 26-year-old has been restored to the starting lineup in recent weeks and he reemphasized his importance to the cause with another dominant display at the back.

The Bosnian international was efficient in both his defensive and attacking contributions, making three tackles in the game while he attempted three crosses going forward.

Kolasinac's pass accuracy of 82.2% was the third-highest for players who played above 75 minutes and he played a key role in helping Arsenal to their first Premier League clean sheet since the opening day.

With new signing Kieran Tierney back to full fitness, Unai Emery would have two quality options for the left-back position, but Kolasinac did his chances of starting a world of good with his display against Bournemouth.
