It has been a difficult time for Lucas Torreira recently at the Emirates Stadium.
The Uruguay international has started just two Premier League games so far this campaign, with Granit Xhaka and Matteo Guendouzi being regularly preferred in the middle of the park.
So far, the 23-year-old has had to make do with appearances in the cup competitions, including his start against Liverpool on Wednesday in the League Cup.
Watch the moment Granit Xhaka’s Arsenal career may have come to an ugly end in the video below…
Arsenal eventually lost on penalties to the Reds at Anfield, but that was only after a thrilling 5-5 draw in normal time. As luck would have it, Torreira opened the scoring for his side, and the relief was clear for all to see as he celebrated his goal.

Certain things are beginning to get to the 21-cap man. Following Granit Xhaka’s outburst directed at the supporters at the Emirates Stadium against Crystal Palace on Sunday, £49.5m-valued Torreira was in tears on the sidelines and was even said to be inconsolable.
Clearly, he has a lot of admiration for his captain and was unable to hold that in against the Eagles.
Although Arsenal lost against Liverpool, his strike allowed him to release some of that frustration in a positive manner, in contrast to the 27-year-old Switzerland international. He will now be hoping to feature more regularly in the coming weeks and months.
