The explosive outing against Tottenham earlier this week had already proved that Lucas Torreira could be Arsenal's main man under Unai Emery in the times to come. With each passing moment on the pitch, in this game as well, Torreira underlined how vital a part of the team he can be.

The Uruguayan youngster was once again the top performer for Arsenal in the end-to-end game against United. Featuring for full 90 minutes, he churned out a shot by himself, and also assisted Shkodran Mustafi's goal in the first half, by whipping a neat corner over to the German defender, who headed home the first game of the game.

Torreira also effected a pass success rate of 90.3%(from a total of 62 passes), which is the second best in the game for any player with more than 10 passes, behind Ander Herrera. He completed two dribbles, and got fouled thrice - which shows the level of importance United exerted on him in an effort to stop him from dominating the midfield.

Apart from all these, he also made two interceptions and a couple of clearances and even saving Arsenal from conceding all by himself on one such occasion.
