The Arsenal graduate redeemed himself after the horrific outing at Goodison Park with a largely positive performance and also assisted Ramsey for the opener.

Maitland-Niles wonderfully picked out a short pass from Alexandre Lacazette and after a twist and turn, laid it on for Ramsey who did the rest. The 21-year old was a dagger through Napoli's heart with his great runs and often got into good positions.

He twice tested the visitors with efforts of his own, whilst also proving to be a huge deal on the ball with his tackling and dribbling skills. And unlike on Monday, he imbued great confidence as he looked like a man seeking redemption.

Ad

Maitland-Niles' every touch on the ball signified it, and also connected well with the likes of Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

He now has a hand in two goals at the Emirates in the last as many games after having none in the previous 27. Periscope is pointing upwards for the youngster.
