Leandro Trossard took just one minute after coming on as a substitute to put Arsenal ahead against Aston Villa.
It is fair to say that Arsenal had been below par for much of the game. Villa really should have been a couple of goals up, but a brilliant save from David Raya and a terrible miss from Ollie Watkins kept the game level.
That was until Trossard came on. Watch the video below to see how clinical the Belgian was.

My Super Sub anytime. I appreciate Trossard’s role in the team, gives us more points off the bench from the wings when opposing fullbacks are exhausted than when he starts from the wings. I see him more as a central player, a hole player, if he is to start, it has to be ahead of Kia down the middle.
Trossard’s body language was interesting after scoring. Looked a bit “un-bothered” maybe?
It seems strange to sub him in for Martinelli – logic says play Trossard to start then Martinelli ‘s speed against more tired defenders. But what do I know? lol
Hard to argue with results.
Trosard wasn’t a happy man today , after seeing arteta benched him for martineli, who had a very bad game for the entirety of time on the picth today😡😡😡!!!! Thanks Leo.
There are signs this lad is not happy but whatever the reason, he has stake his claim.
He has had no impact whenever he got the chance to start (which were many). He gives a lot more to the team as a sub. He is a very important player for us and fans love him.
I hope is unhappiness is for non-football reasons.
