3. Efficient return for Elneny

Playing in just his second game of the season, the Egyptian was back to his industrial self. Starting in the midfield to allow Sambi Lokonga to play further forward, Elneny was neat on his return.

As expected, he didn’t last the full 90, but he was calm and composed in possession at the Emirates. As usual, he didn’t set the world alight, but he was typically efficient and his return is a welcome one.
