- Belgian forward started as a striker
- Allowed to drift wide and take set-pieces
- Teed up Gabriel, Martinelli and Odegaard
WHAT HAPPENED? The Belgium international forward was acquired by the Gunners in January to add more spark to their attack, while his versatility has been put to good use during injury-enforced absences for Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah. He was started down the middle again versus Fulham, but made his greatest contribution from out wide as a corner and two crosses from the left allowed Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard to find the target – becoming the first player in the English top-flight to be so productive on the assist front in the opening 45 minutes of an away game.
