After a good all-round performance against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, one of the main highlights for Arsenal fans was seeing Hector Bellerín in such good form again.
Bellerín also had a good game against Bournemouth the previous weekend, in my opinion, and really seems to be benefitting from being able to play in his actual position, rather than being forced to play left wing-back when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was still at the club.
As a result, I believe he’s starting to look dangerous going forward again. Fans are getting excited that they’ve started to see the old Bellerín, who was previously on his way to becoming one of the Premier League’s best full-backs.
I have noticed Bellerin's improvement since against Bournemouth…He looks back to his old 2015 self…#AFC

Bellerin looks to be balling again. He has been excellent in the last 3 games. Long may his form continue. #afc

The 22-year-old was even starting to win over some of his critics, as he created a couple of good chances that the Gunners were unlucky not to score from in Sunday’s meeting with Chelsea.
I am well pleased with the two players I have criticized the most in recent time.. Ramsey and Bellerin. My MOTM is shared between them. #AFC

I believe when the team works together as a unit, individuals are given the opportunity to shine. When players like Bellerín are left isolated and out-of-position, they’re forced into mistakes. Hopefully the Spaniard can continue his good form over the course of the season.
