One thing that can definitely be said about Aaron Ramsey is that despite the multiple and recurring injuries he has had through the years, he takes up the role of the team engine every time he makes a comeback for the North London side.
The Welsh international and a few other first-team players were touted to be rested for the tie against West Ham, pertaining to the Europa League fixture on Thursday. Instead, Wenger chose to go with as full-fledged a squad as he could manage, wanting to get his players in the right rhythm before the massive fixture.
The move worked well, as Ramsey, who looked scrappy in the first 45 minutes of the game, came into his own in the second half. It was his goal from the left flank that gave Arsenal the lead and turned the game in their favour. He will be a vital cog in their performance against the Spanish team on Thursday.
