An important three points that puts us atop the the group ahead of some big games as the youth shine.

He is bringing the best out of the young players and really deserves praise for this. He is not the quickest but is physical and good at pushing up the game. Olivier Giroud: He is becoming the penalty merchant of the side since taking over from Kessie. His finishing was not there and he wasted lots of opportunities but the fact is he created those chances and influence the game delivering the win. Lots of useless and wasteful play as we expect of him and one moment where he was in the right place and the right time to get the goal. The positioning just was not there and hence he was less effective in supporting the attack. Sandro Tonali: A weird game for him as he played as a floater across the midfield. His ability to constantly win the ball back and get a counter started is underrated and he will only get better. Theo Hernandez: He is finally becoming a word class player in my view as his defence is now strong and he is showing maturity in his decisions. He was naive on the goal as his press on the back of the striker opened up the space for Orsic’s run. Pierre Kalulu: A strong comeback from him and an important role he showed comfort going forward. Olivier Giroud scored a penalty to kick off the proceedings.
