Ainsley Maitland-Niles was named in the starting XI in the Premier League for the first time since our 1-0 win over Norwich on September 11, and put in an excellent performance in the centre of midfield.
Partnering Sambi Lokonga, the Arsenal academy product was involved throughout the 90 minutes, winning possession more times than any other player (nine) and winning a team high three tackles. He was also instrumental in the move that led to Bukayo Saka's 'goal' that was disallowed for offside in the first half.
Here's what he told Arsenal Media after the game…
on the win…
Yeah, we had to dig deep, it took us 96 minutes to get the job done and everyone was out there and showed a lot of unity and togetherness and helped us through the game.
