4 reasons why Arsenal won against Vorksla

Despite the match being toe-to-toe in the first 30 minutes, Vorksla almost gave up fighting for the points by the end of the game. They were swept aside by a resolute and well organized Arsenal side who looked more keen on coming out on top in every single battle that transpired on the pitch.

The Gunners ran over their visitors, and Vorksla were as dead as doornails by the time Arsenal were done hammering them. Arsenal go 3 points clear and they top the group E, with Sporting CP just below them as they scored two fewer goals than the London side.

Vorksla looked like they were ready for a comeback in the dying minutes of the game but it was late, as Arsenal held them to just two goals by the end of 90+5 minutes.

Let's take a look at the 4 reasons why Arsenal won.

#4 Torreira's presence

Arsenal v Vorskla Poltava - UEFA Europa League - Group E

Torreira was clearly the most impactful player in the Arsenal side. His airballs and through passes are a treat to watch, and at the age of 22, Torreira seems more confident and matured than a 30-year-old, though he sometimes makes mistakes, which is normal.

The former Sampodiara player transpires positivity on the pitch, and he always looks to move forward when he has possession of the ball. This is something the Arsenal midfielders have lacked, as the likes of Xhaka and Wilshere failed to break defences with their passes.

His quick passes and fast mind has helped Arsenal in starting off attacks, and it seems like he will be staying at the Emirates for a long time. Torreira is a gem of a player - thanks to Unai Emery for noticing his talent when nobody else did.

#3 Iwobi finding his form

Arsenal v West Ham United - Premier League — Alex Iwobi

Finally, Alex Iwobi has found his form, something he has been lacking since last season. Iwobi is a player with great talent, but he was benched for more than half of every game yesteryear, as the Nigerian was misfiring.

Iwobi has scored just 3 goals in the past season, with 5 assists to his name in 26 appearances for the London side, which is something very unconvincing.

However, he looks set to start every Europa League game, as Unai Emery and co must be impressed by his performance yesterday. His blistering pace on the left flank came handy for the Gunners, indeed.

#2 Mkhitaryan's vision

Mkhitaryan is a blessing in disguise for Arsenal. The Armenian midfielder joined the Gunners as Alexis Sanchez left for Manchester United; a swap deal as per reports.

The Gooners were disappointed by the Arsenal board as they failed to hold their star player, but Micky's performance since the first day and Alexis' form at ManU says otherwise.

Mkhitaryan has played with Aubameyang at Dortmund, and the duo has scored infinite goals and assists while playing together. Mkhitaryan had an assist to Aubameyang yesterday as well, and the Gabon international hit home for Arsenal.

#1 The lethal Aubameyang!

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the man of the hour, as he scored two clinical goals from the 3 shots on target he had. His attempt from out of the box was denied by the post, which also denied him from having the perfect hattrick.

Aubameyang's beginning Premier League games were a bit of a concern, as the 29-year-old found it difficult to maintain his form from last season. His partner-in-crime Lacazette has helped him in several occasions, though.

However, this might help him from gaining confidence and performing better in Premier League games. Aubameyang is a top-class striker, and if Arsenal go far in the league, he can finish his UEL campaign as a top scorer.
