'Unbelievable': Some Arsenal fans in awe of 'Ramsey'-like man's Europa League display last night

A number of Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to praise Joe Willock’s performance for Mikel Arteta’s Gunners in the Europa League last night.

The 21-year-old was once again given the nod in the Arsenal starting XI as they cruised past Molde in the Europa League to seal qualification to the knockout stages.

Willock struggled against Leeds last time out, the Hale End gem deployed as a No. 10 on that occasion, but last night, he was named alongside Granit Xhaka in a central midfield two.

He put in a much-improved display as Arsenal ran out 3-0 winners, providing assists for Nicolas Pepe’s 50th-minute opener and Reiss Nelson’s close-range shot five minutes later.

As well as his goal contributions, Willock’s movement and composure were impressive throughout, giving Arteta food for thought going forward as another great central midfield option.

Needless to say plenty of Arsenal fans were impressed with the academy graduate’s efforts on the night and praised him on social media.

Here is some of the reaction:

Another two assists for Joe Willock tonight. Don’t allow a sub-par cameo at Elland Road to distract you from the strides he is making this season. Excellent yet again.

He crossed 2 excellent balls for both Nelson and Pepe to score. He is proving me wrong and showing he has got the talent and desire to play for our club

Joe Willock’s part in both Arsenal goals highlights the influence he can have as a box-to-box midfielder.
Doesn’t quite have the creative ability to be a ‘10’ but he’s a fantastic athlete with a goal threat and an instinct for those late, driving runs from deep.

Willock really is the closest replacement we have for Aaron Ramsey.

Pepe was quality tonight as was Nelson, both miles ahead of Willian! Balogun/Nketiah both look like they’re going to be class… Willock outstanding again! The future looks bright #afc
