#2 Introduction of Alex Iwobi

Iwobi put up an excellent performance against Watford

The Nigerian international, who was brought in to the action at the expense of a misfiring Aaron Ramsey in the 63rd minute, turned the tables for Arsenal against Watford.

His pace, dynamism, and agility provided natural width to the Gunners' attack. He was quick on the ball, took players on consistently and peppered the Hornets with his energetic display.

The 22-year-old played an integral role in the build-up to both the goals, breaking the spine of Watford's defence. With consistent performances in the past couple of weeks, Iwobi has made a strong case to start ahead of Ramsey against Fulham next week.
