October’s almost over and Arsenal are now 10 Premier League games deep, but have we learned anything?
Arsenal face Red Star Belgrade in the Europa League on Thursday for their first match of what will likely be a very tricky November.
October was another roller coaster ride. However, the Gunners only lost one match over all competitions: Watford away.
We’re hanging in there in fifth in the Premier League table after facing Brighton, the Hornets and Everton, who we managed to beat 5-2 despite going 1-0 behind in the first half.
Other than that, we’ve still got an 100% win record in the Europa League after a victory over Red Star, and we progressed – just about – to the fifth round of the League Cup. Again, after going 1-0 behind.
We’ve also seen certain players begin to stand out more than the others, whether that’s because of their ability or consistency in general.
Here’s five things we learned from Arsenal’s October.
1. Sead Kolasinac could be signing of the season
Kolasinac scored his first Premier League goal against Swansea on Saturday and assisted the second from Aaron Ramsey.
The 24-year-old has quickly become an Arsenal fan favourite and he was a best throughout October.
