Arsenal enjoyed a narrow victory over Doncaster Rovers this week.
Arsenal made hard work of their EFL Cup third round clash with Doncaster Rovers this week, running out 1-0 winners courtesy of a 25th-minute goal from Theo Walcott.
While Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City were racking up the goals in their respective ties, a relatively strong Arsenal team could only find the net once against their lower league opponents and were made to sweat until the final whistle.
One Arsenal man granted a rare start was Mohamed Elneny, who has been nothing more than a bit-part player in the Premier League this season, and the 25-year-old generated mixed responses from the Gunners faithful for his performance against the League One side.
Elneny has been relegated to Arsenal’s second string this season, turning out in the EFL Cup and the Europa League while others are tasked with ensuring a top-four finish in the Premier League come May.
During his 45 appearances for Arsenal, the Egypt international has put in some hit-and-miss showings, and it will be interesting to see if he can fight his way back into Arsene Wenger’s plans for the vital matches ahead.
After the game we took to Twitter to see what Arsenal supporters thought of Elneny’s latest showing and you can read a selection of what we found below:
