Lucas Torreira's late winner saw Arsenal beat Huddersfield Town 1-0 in the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
The Gunners dominated the first half but were frustrated against a resolute visiting side but had to wait until the 83rd minute to finally break the deadlock, with Aubameyang crossing for Torreira to acrobatically volley home and secure the win.
Arsenal looked on course to drop points for the second match in a row on Saturday, until the Uruguayan popped up late on with a brilliant goal to get them back to winning ways.
The midfielder now has two goals and an assist in his last three Arsenal outings and is becoming increasingly influential in his first season in the Premier League.
The goal capped another outstanding performance from Torreira, who is proving to be exactly the type of player Arsenal needed in their midfield.
His energy, drive and tenacity are qualities Arsenal have been lacking for some time, and he is now making vital attacking contributions.Lucas Torreira in his last 6 games: 🦁— Football Tweet (@Football__Tweet) December 10, 2018

Arsenal signed Torreira from Sampdoria in July for a fee in the region of £26 million and already looks like being a bargain signing by Arsenal, and they will be hoping there is still plenty more to come from the midfielder as the season progresses.
