    Alexis Sanchez might have grabbed all the plaudits in the 3-0 win against Stoke, but his performance was merely the icing on the cake of an excellent collective display. Unusually, Arsenal did not look like a one-man-team; there were a number of other individuals playing prominent supporting roles. One such man was Nacho Monreal.

    After a difficult 2013-14, the Spaniard has quietly established himself as one of most reliable members of Arsene Wenger's squad. The stats speak volumes for his efficacy: Arsenal have won each of the last seven games in which Monreal has started, keeping five clean sheets along the way.

    Monreal has played out of position a lot and too much has been asked of him. Hard to give him individual credit when the defending has been so poor overall.
