Arsenal 1-0 Huddersfield Town: Hits and Flops

#3 Hit: Terence Kongolo

Kongolo has been the most consistent Huddersfield player this season and he showed his abilities today too. In the first half, he was constantly marking Aubameyang and Lacazette both and it was a difficult task given both Arsenal players were playing narrow and near to each other.

Kongolo was the only Huddersfield player who was measured in his tackling and didn’t give loose fouls in danger areas. His ability to read crosses from Kolasinac and Bellerin really shut the shop for Arsenal attackers as they didn’t get enough deliveries to pounce upon.

Kongolo did have a sorry feeling in the end when Aubameyang created a cross out of nowhere for Torreira to score, but it was more of luck than the striker’s skill. Kongolo is young and fast, qualities which make you a good premier league defender and if Huddersfield is to stay alive in the Premier League, it will take many gutsy performances from Kongolo.
