2. Trossard continues to make things happen

While the Gunners may lose Gabriel Martinelli before the start of their Champions League campaign, his backup always finds a way to make things happen when called upon.

Martinelli had a disallowed goal in the first half and was injured during the sequence. Hopefully, it isn’t too bad as he was very active for the first 25 minutes. However, Trossard provided the same quality and eventually netted the goal that put the Gunners up 1-0. His sublime strike proved to be the winner.

The Gunners have had a tumultuous time with injuries to start the campaign, so hopefully, Martinelli’s injury is minor. Still, Trossard will be up to the task while Gabi is sidelined.
