But it is clear who the Arsenal supporters thought came out on top in that battle. James being taken off 10 minutes before Kolasinac perhaps provides a clue regarding who they felt the victor was.

The supporters have praised Kolasinac for playing through the pain barrier. And they hope that he has now turned under a corner under Mikel Arteta after a superb display.
