Dani Ceballos hails Arsenal "luxury player" as unsung hero for Mikel Arteta

Dani Ceballos has hailed Mohamed Elneny as a "luxury player" after the Egyptian came on for the final 20 seconds in Arsenal's 3-1 win over West Ham United on Boxing Day.

The 30-year-old replaced Thomas Partey for the last few moments of the Gunners' comeback victory over David Moyes' men at the Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta's side found themselves behind at the break courtesy of Said Benrahma's penalty, before Arsenal fought back with a terrific second-half performance.

Bukayo Saka's strike saw them draw level, before Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah struck to turn the game on its head and give the Gunners all three points. It was a result that stretched their lead at the top of the table to eight points ahead of Manchester City's clash with Leeds United on December 28.
