Murray hails the performance of new Arsenal
signing against Napoli from Emirates Stadium.
Wimbledon champion Andy Murray was at the
Emirates Stadium last night to watch Arsenal defeat
Napoli in the UEFA Champions League as he recovers
from back surgery.
Goals from Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud in a
devastating first half spell sealed the victory, but it
was not the £42.5 million German Ozil that stood out
for Murray.
Instead, it was fellow summer arrival Mathieu
Flamini, brought in on a free transfer from AC Milan,
that caught his eye.
Was at arsenal vs Napoli tonight, top performance
from arsenal... flamini has been a great signing
love his work— Andy Murray (@andy_murray)

It was Flamini's poked tackle on Marek Hamsik that
won the ball for Arsenal's second goal, and the
Frenchman ran 12.9 kilometres throughout the
game, showing a brilliant work ethic and keeping
Napoli at bay.
As brilliant as Ozil has been, perhaps Flamini has
been equally important to the Gunners' success this
season.
