Arsenal loan watch: Nelson scores on debut, Macey rock-bottom of division
Arsenal have found form under Unai Emery and have a number of players away from the club on loan. Here is how they faired in the latest round of action.
Matt Macey – Plymouth Argyle
Completed 90 minutes as Plymouth lost 1-0 to Blackpool in League One, which leaves the club rock-bottom of the table and as the only side in the division yet to secure a win. The 24-year-old has kept just two clean sheets this season.
Takuma Asano – Hannover 96
The 23-year-old forward played 65 minutes in a dramatic 3-2 defeat to RB Leipzig, picking up a match rating of 6.27 from WhoScored – his highest so far this season.
Calum Chambers – Fulham
Unused substitute as Fulham were swept aside by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Came off the bench to make his Bundesliga debut and the 18-year-old scored to level the scores against Fortuna Dusseldorf, although Hoffenheim went on to suffer a 2-1 loss after Dodi Lukebakio’s 88th-minute penalty.
