The forward may not have been impressed with the anti-doping selection process but his manager was more than impressed with his influence on the game.

He added: 'He is young and just arrived in England. The physical demands are very high.
'Technically, he is intelligent and you can see on the free-kick, he was there for the rebound like all good strikers are.'
The three points move Arsenal up to seventh in the Premier League with a Europa League clash against BATE Borisov on Thursday to come.
