🔍 They defended with a 4-4-2 when they were without it, through Moussa Sissoko and Lucas Moura withdrawing from their front four (2/8)

🔍 That 3-4-3 became a 5-4-1 when they defended, through their wide attackers withdrawing into midfield, and their wing-backs into defence (6/8)

🔍 Arsenal often attempted to switch play by Alexandre Lacazette withdrawing to receive possession and setting it to a midfielder, who then played the relevant pass (7/8)

🔍 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pépé also withdrew to towards the ball, to open the passing lane to the wing-backs alongside them, before turning to rejoin the attack (8/8)
