Arsenal fans praise Hector Bellerin for his Spain performance

Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin was in action on Wednesday night on the international stage – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter were impressed with his display.

The right-back earned a recall to the Spain squad for the first time since 2016 and he completed 90 minutes during an international friendly against Netherland.

Spain recorded a 1-1 draw and took the lead through Sergio Canales in the 18th minute, but Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek scored an equaliser for the Dutch early in the second-half.

Bellerin earned his fourth senior Spain cap during the match and was a late call-up to the squad after an injury to Jesus Navas.

The 25-year-old has started every single game in the Premier League so far this season and he’s been an attacking threat from right-back, setting up four assists in 11 games across all competitions.

He was denied an assist against the Netherlands when Alvaro Morata was unable to finish a chance set up for him superbly well after a darting run forward.
