Arsenal were fantastic against Fulham on Saturday, and there are a number of players who deserve individual praise.

Leandro Trossard has had a mixed season, often drifting in and out of games, and the Arsenal team, struggling to fully lock down a starting role.

Against Fulham, though, he delivered a performance that reminded everyone exactly what he brings to this Arsenal side.

This was not just a good display, it was arguably his best of the season.

Trossard played with intent from the first minute. He was direct, confident, and constantly involved in Arsenal’s attacking play. His assist was just one part of the story, because his overall contribution went far beyond a single moment.

The numbers underline how complete his performance was.

Those dribbling numbers stand out immediately.

Six successful dribbles shows a player willing to take risks and beat his man, something Arsenal have lacked at times this season. Too often, their attack has looked safe and predictable, but Trossard brought unpredictability and movement that Fulham struggled to deal with.

His four shots also tell an important story.

Trossard was not just creating for others, he was looking to score himself. That balance is crucial in a front line, especially when confidence has been an issue. Players who are willing to take responsibility in front of goal can shift the entire dynamic of a game.

The assist highlights his awareness.

Even in tight spaces, he found the right moment to deliver. Combined with two key passes, it shows he was consistently involved in creating chances rather than fading in and out of the game.

This is the version of Trossard Arsenal need. In the past, he’s been the man to stand up and be counted in big moments, and while that has been lacking recently, his performance vs Fulham showed he still has it in his locker.

If he can carry this form into the final stretch, he could become a key figure in Arsenal’s push. Based on this performance, it would be difficult to leave him out.
