94% passing, 100% dribbles, 6 recoveries: Arteta has another undroppable star after 8/10 performance vs Spurs – opinion | OneFootball

Arsenal returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.

The Gunners dominated proceedings for the first 20 minutes, but Spurs broke the deadlock in the 25th minute after Son Heung-min scored from a huge deflection.

However, Arsenal managed to secure a lead before the break. Gabriel Magalhaes inflicted an own goal on Spurs with a trademark header from a corner in the 40th minute.

Leandro Trossard made it 2-1 in the Gunners’ favour with a sublime left-footed strike.

The Gunners controlled the game after the interval. They had plenty of opportunities to extend their advantage but lacked the cutting edge. Martin Odegaard missed the best scoring chance.

Gabriel was undoubtedly the man of the match. Aside from scoring, he won 100 percent of his aerial duels and made two late challenges to deny clear-cut goals for Dominic Solanke.

Alongside him, we were very impressed with Myles Lewis-Skelly, who was exceptional from left-back.

The 18-year-old has had a stellar breakthrough season with the Gunners. With Riccardo Calafiori’s injury woes, Lewis-Skelly has capitalised to become a regular starter since his league debut.

The Gunners graduate had a passing accuracy of 94 percent last night. He completed 100 percent of his dribbles with six recoveries. He also won five duels and three tackles in the derby.

Lewis-Skelly comfortably handled the threat of Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson. In our view, the youngster has become undroppable on the back of an exceptional display versus Spurs.

He received an 8/10 rating from football.london. Calafiori only has a minor injury, but the Italian could struggle to displace the youngster due to his consistent performances this campaign.
