#3 Riyad Mahrez was back to his old self
Now that the speculation has been settled over Mahrez, it seemed the Algerian was back to his trickery self. Here, he chose an opportune moment to show what he could have added to the Arsenal ranks. If this was an audition for the Gunners, then he passed it with aplomb.
Coming in from the right flank, time and again he made a mug of Monreal, who was most of the time left chasing his tail lights as Mahrez would jink his way through. Involved in both the plays leading up the penalty shouts, Mahrez also showed a certain resilience to stay on his feet rather than going down.
