Arsenal defeated Newcastle United on Saturday but what did fans make of Hector Bellerin’s performance?
Arsenal followed up their 4-1 victory against Galatasaray in the Champions League with a win by the same score-line against Newcastle United this weekend.
The Gunners have had a hit-and-miss campaign to date but it looks like they are getting back into their rhythm at exactly the right time, as braces from Santi Cazorla and Olivier Giroud made relatively easy work of Alan Pardew’s men.
Newcastle’s consolation goal came from Ayoze Perez but by then the damage had been done, with Arsenal impressing in a number of key areas.
One player who shone particularly brightly was Hector Bellerin, whose performance suggested he must now feature far more regularly for Arsenal.
The Spaniard set up one goal, went on five dribbles and had a passing accuracy of 78 per cent. He also won an impressive eight duels, three tackles and two interceptions.
| Passing Accuracy | Goal Assists | Dribbles | Interceptions Won | Duels Won | Tackles Won | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Héctor Bellerín | 78% | 1 | 5 | 2 | 8 | 3 | 90 |
The Arsenal right-back’s age means he still has a lot to learn, but his innate talent and considerable confidence are undeniable and Arsene Wenger cannot ignore him any longer.
