#5 Bellerin makes an impressive return
Trending
The Spaniard impressed on his return as he created Walcott’s equaliser and made interventions in defence. The defender’s assist was his seventh since the start of last season which makes it the most for a defender.
Bellerin replaced Mustafi in the 25th minute and immediately increased the tempo of the game. Arsenal’s attacking play soon had new verve as the Spaniard began to find space on Allen’s flank. Other than assisting the goal, the Spaniard also created a chance for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and was excellent throughout.
Ahead of the City game, Wenger will be pleased with this performance. Speaking after the game, Arsene stated, “We had a hesitant start, but when you play every few days sometimes it takes you time to get into a rhythm and that is what happened. We are there for the fight and we have been consistent after the first game. It is down to us to maintain the focus and the desire to improve.”
