Two of our standout performers against Portsmouth on Monday were debutant Pablo Mari and young striker Eddie Nketiah.
Mari partnered David Luiz in the centre of defence and helped us withstand a spell of pressure before catching the eye with his composure in possession and long-range passing.
"I think he looked comfortable," said Mikel Arteta. "He is very vocal and very comfortable on the ball, always commanding the back four and he looked like he’s played here for months. I think we have a good player."
At the other end of the pitch, Nketiah continued his impressive scoring run with his third goal in his last four starts.
