Why Samir Nasri is ready to fill Cesc Fabregas' boots as Arsenal's 'ace in the hole'
By Matthew Weiner at the Emirates
Tonight against Porto, Samir Nasri produced for Arsenal the performance of the season and then capped it with the goal of the season.
Fabregas's injury had critics writing off Arsenal's chances of overturning the first leg deficit and then Nasri showed, possibly for the first time in his Arsenal career, what all the fuss was about in France.
Allowed to play in his favoured position in midfield, as opposed to the wing where his contribution has been UGGS Clearance Sale Outlet lacking, the Frenchman ran the game.
His pace, energy and eye for a pass created the first goal when he fed a through ball for Arshavin, it UGGS Clearance spilled away from Porto's keeper Helton and Bendtner only needed to apply the finish to get the first of his hat trick.
Nasri then buzzed around the field, harrying the opposition when Porto were in possession and driving Arsenal forward when he had the ball.
