It was a good Sunday for Arsenal's Nacho Monreal .
The Gunners defender popped up with just his second Premier League goal as his team beat Brighton and Hove Albion 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium to stay within touching distance of the leaders, but it wasn't just his unlikely goalscoring prowess that impressed.
It was also his excellent passing.
