COMMENTARY
Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny had many supporters singing his praises in the 1-0 win against Napoli as they were simply blown away by him. Many couldn’t fathom how the 33-year-old was still putting in amazing performances at his age especially when you consider his injury record. In fact one supporter claimed witchcraft must be at work as it was simply not human how good Koscielny was still able to be. It’s fair to say the veteran defender earned these plaudits as he was sensational against Napoli. The Italian side kept throwing everything they had at the Gunners in order to get back into the match, but the defender stood tall. It was like the defender was a literal wall, as one fan beautifully put it, and at times it was hard not to feel sorry for Napoli over facing him. If the Gunners didn’t have Koscielny to call upon on Thursday, then who knows, it may have been a different story for his side.

Koscielny being this good after his achilles exploded is some sort of witchcraft.

Koscielny has been sensational since returning from injury, wouldn't know he's 33 with his performances

Koscielny and Sokratis are actually such sick defenders

Starting to be convinced that Koscielny is a robot. Been pivotal in our defence this season. A man that's been riddled with injuries over the years still producing world class defensive displays at the big age of 33. Nothing but respect Lolo?
