Though Arsenal's win was largely due to the way they functioned together as a team, two men can be named as chiefly responsible for the result, and they are Aubameyang and Torreira.

Aubameyang netted a penalty in the first few minutes of the game to give his side the lead and then scored a banger in the second half to level scores after Spurs got in front with two goals in the first half.

Torreira did not have much of a gain in the first half, but he will be remembered for the way he tried to maintain possession and got the back through a spectacular crouching effort after he gave it away unwittingly.

The Uruguayan's bigger contributions came in the second half, when his duty revolved around supplying the ball to either Ramsey or Aubameyang, with the both of whom Torreira had a great sync going on. All his efforts were rewarded in the end when he deservedly scored that final goal which surely put Arsenal in the box-seat for the win at Emirates.

He also went home with the match-ball. This was Torreira's third match-ball in the last four PL outings for Arsenal.
