"It's a pleasure to watch the quality of his passing and the intelligence of his passing," Wenger said.
"What I want from him more is a few more goals this He was absolutely magnificent. He works harder than many people think he does. He's not spectacular in his defending, but he wants to do the job and help the team.
"What I liked in his game today was he made many runs without the ball behind the defenders which is a bit new as he likes to come with the ball but today he mixed up his game better."
