I'm sorry, Trossard has absolutely no right to be scoring in this situation. He'd just beat Dias and Elliot, had no options, and he managed to squeeze it under the best keeper in the league.

Why Martin Odegaard as captain is unique for Arsenal:
1. It's not a bribe (Thierry/Cesc/RVP)
2. It's not based on status (Auba)
3. He's not injury prone (Gallas/Per/TV)
4. It wasn't predicated on a vote (Xhaka)
5. He's not too old for it (Arteta)
This is pure leadership merit.

The criticism of Zinchenko is massively overblown. He was at fault for conceding against the best winger in the world one vs one in a move that was pure magic. But he also played a big role in a team that recorded a record-low xG away at Liverpool.
