‘Two good performances’…Martin Keown names Arsenal pair who really impressed him against PSV
Martin Keown picked out the two Arsenal players who impressed him on Tuesday night as the Gunners rounded off their Champions League group-stage campaign with a draw with PSV Eindhoven.
Keown was speaking on (broadcast on 12/12; 19:44) after Mikel Arteta’s side were pegged back in the sౠecond-half after Eddie Nketiah had given the Gunners the lead at the break with a superb finish.
Reiss Nelson and Mohamed Elneny were tw💛o of the players who came♎ into the Arsenal side in Eindhoven, with the Gunners already confirmed as group winners.
Martin Keown praises Mohamed Elneny and Reiss Nelson after Arsenal draw
It was Nelson who set up Nketiah’s goal with some brilliant work down Arsenal’s right flank shortly before the break. Meanwhile, Elneny produced the kind of solid displa𒁃y that he is really known for in North London.
Lucy Ward felt on commentaryꦬ that Nelson was Arsenal’s💎 standout player on the night. But Martin Keown sugges🍨ted that the Egyptian also deserved cr𒆙edit for his first display in more than a month for Arsenal.
“There were one or two good performances. Nelson ༒particularly, 🤪Elneny in midfield,” he told .
“They would have wanted to have won the game but having lost to Aston Villa it was important they didn’t go on a run of losing matches. And I think they can be really proud of their efforts in the൲ Champions League t𝓰his season.”
Mixed fortunes for Gunners pair
The biggest disappointment of the evening came when Elneny had to come off after going down injured during the second-half. Obviously, 😼he has had to deal with some real setbacks in recent years. So everyone – Arsenal fan or not – will be hoping that he was not forced off with anything serious.
But Nelson really did stake a claim for more game-time. He has ha♍d to be real💫ly patient lately. But he looked like he was raring to go on Tuesday.
And heꦚ will hope that his performance sends a clear message t♊o Arteta ahead of what is going to be a crucial period for the Premier League title contenders.
