For the Gunners, they had not scored on any of their previous four away league trips. They played brilliantly at the Estadio Jose Alvalade to end the run of games without a goal.

There were many great performances from the London giants, but Jurrien Timber, who started at right back for the second game in a row, really stood out.

The Netherlands international has mostly played left-back this season, but Ben White’s recent injury has let him return to the right side of the defense.

The Dutchman looks like he’s much more at ease in the part. He finished 100% of crosses and 100% of dribbles yesterday, which means he was 93% accurate with his passes.

Timber set up three chances for his teammates, including Gabriel Martinelli’s first goal. The star, who is worth £32 million, also made two tackles, one clearance, and one recovery.

Both Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard played great in the final third, but Timber was also great when he played with them to create chances.

The 23-year-old could solidify his spot at right back under boss Mikel Arteta, as long as he doesn’t get hurt.

After a break for international play, Arsenal beat Sporting CP and Nottingham Forest easily when they came back. It looks like they got going at the right time.

On Saturday night, the Gunners play their London foes West Ham United in the Premier League. With another three points, they could make their title chances stronger.

Arteta’s team is nine points behind league leaders Liverpool, but Liverpool will have a tough game against Manchester City, who are hungry for revenge after going six games without a victory.
