OPINION
It is actually rather surprising that this section of Arsenal fans have drooled over Alex Iwobi in the first half against Southampton, which ended 2-0. He did provide the assist for Henrikh Mkhitaryan to score the second of the Gunners’ goals, but many fans have often questioned how he gets into the starting line up after the signing of Denis Suarez on loan in January. Well, they may have just found their answer in the first half performance from the Nigeria international, as he was excellent throught the first 45 minutes at the Emirates. His passing was on point, and his forward play was brilliant. What is there to fault with him so far? Yes, some fans are may be frustrated that Suarez is not playing regularly, but if Iwobi plays like he did in the first half here, then he is set to have a longer run in this Arsenal team.

Iwobi is looking very sharp. His cutbacks have been on point so far
