Arsenal's winning run, albeit a short one consisting of just two victories, came to an end at Selhurst Park on Saturday against Crystal Palace.

The Gunners did get off to the better start, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opening the scoring following a slick move from the visitors. However, Jordan Ayew pulled things level before the Emirates outfit's goalscorer was sent off for dangerous play.

In the end, Mikel Arteta had to make do with a solitary point.

Lucas Torreira was included once again in the starting line-up, having started all three previous Premier League games under the new boss. He was clearly not a Unai Emery favourite, having started just four league matches under the former manager, but he seems to be a big part of Arteta's plans moving forward.

Against Palace, the Gunners supporters were very happy with his display.

In that first half at least, he was very impressive. He helped the Gunners have 67% possession and dominate the game - the Eagles managed just one shot in the whole of the first 45 minutes.

In this match, the Uruguay international was back in a defensive midfield position after having featured at times in attacking midfield under the former boss. Many supporters can not believe he was deployed in that role previously.

With just four goals and five assists in 76 matches for the Gunners, it does seem like a bizarre choice to play him further forward. It is perhaps decisions like that that led to his departure from the hot-seat.

At half-time though, the 23-year-old was withdrawn and replaced by Matteo Guendouzi. Given his performance, the assumption is that it was because of an injury, and that has worried some Arsenal supporters.

The fans will be hoping that it is nothing serious, and that he will soon be able to return to the action.
