Mohamed Elneny played in the entirety of this game and Arsene Wenger stated that he was impressed by the performance that his only winter signing displayed.
Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger spoke to the media after their FA Cup victory as the French manager said: ‘’I think he has to adapt to the power side of the game but he has shown interesting ingredients like game intelligence, mobility and technical ability and had some good shots. He will be a very interesting player for us. I think overall we had a good performance and we wanted to respond with a win. We wanted to qualify and the first 20 minutes looked like it could be all us but then suddenly when they equalized it became a different game’’
