It’s something of a trademark now – the long-range screamer from Mohamed Elneny – and our Egyptian midfielder delivered again on Friday, to level up our pre-season friendly against Nurnberg.
Elneny came on at half-time, with the score 2-0 to the hosts, and had a sighter just off target seconds after the restart. Then Gabriel Jesus pulled one back, before Elneny equalised moments later, a right-foot rocket from fully 25-yards which got Arsenal purring again as they went on to claim a 5-3 victory.
After the game Elneny said it’s something that he particularly works on in training.
