Loads of Arsenal fans are drooling over the performance of Dani Ceballos, after the 23 year-old produced a superb display in the middle of the park against West Ham.
The Gunners rode their luck against the Hammers if truth be told, counting on Michail Antonio and Sebastien Haller to spurn several chances in order to take the three points. That said, there were several impressive performers in red and white, as Alexandre Lacazette scored the winner, Bernd Leno was sensational yet again and Ceballos dominated the middle third.
Per Sofascore, the £36m-rated (Transfermarkt) ace recording the second highest match rating after Leno with and 8.2 out of 10, completing 87% of his passes, winning eight of 11 duels and making a staggering five tackles. He also registered an incredible 121 touches on the ball – no other player managed more than 94.
Check out some of the best Twitter reactions down below, where one supporter said Ceballos reminded him of fan favourite Santi Cazorla while another simply hailed his ‘phenomenal‘ display…
My man of the match goes to Dani Ceballos. Brilliant all round display. He took the initiative in the build up and was super solid defensively. He even managed to win tackles against Antonio in 1 v 1 situations, which even an established full back would struggle at.

Ceballos has been fantastic. All over the pitch in that first half.

Ceballos reminds me of Cazorla with tackles, passes and getting forward. Just needs to show us the class he has that Caz did so many times. Leno is a great shout for keeping us in the game at 0-0
