In the end, two familiar faces settled this victory for Arsenal. But while the strike duo of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang secured a second victory of the season for Unai Emery’s side, it was the performance of new boy Dani Ceballos that had the home supporters licking their lips at full-time.
The
Real Madrid loanee received a standing ovation when he was replaced by Lucas Torreira with seven minutes to play after a brilliant display that hinted
Arsenal could have secured one of the bargains of the summer. Along with David Luiz - the £8m signing from
Chelsea – Ceballos was making his full debut against opponents who have now lost 11 matches in a row against the north Londoners.
