Norwich City's big-match player stepped up once again today, delivering the goods when it mattered the most. Punishing Arsenal on the counter-attack, Todd Cantwell restored his side's lead with a superb strike at the cusp of half time.

The midfielder drifted in from the left, picking up Onel Hernández's ball and driving it into the far corner of the net.

The 21-year-old was a handful for Granit Xhaka and Matteo Guendouzi in the middle of the park. He won the midfield battle more often than not and was at the heart of Norwich's attack on multiple occasions.

Cantwell was highly-effective in the second half as well – a moment that stands out is his excellent through ball to Pukki in the 63rd minute, which, if not for Bernd Leno, would have set up Norwich's match-winning goal.

He completed 78% of his passes on the day, and was a constant threat until he was taken off in the 83rd minute.
