This was partially because of the visitor’s goalie, Mads Hermansen, who turned away the bulk of Arsenal’s 16 attempts on goal.
With a total of 12 saves, he stopped ¾ of The Gunners’ shots on goal. This is not all that surprising considering that his save percentage in the first six EPL games was 69%, which is not bad for an unknown who had just emerged from the Championship. Speaking to BBC Sport on Match of the Day, even Leandro Trossard, who scored against the Dutchman, expressed his admiration for his amazing goalkeeping. “Their keeper made some great saves as well, but it’s nice to get those two goals,” remarked a respectfully modest Trossard.
