Several members of Arsenal's loan army have been in action over the past week, although they experienced differing fortunes.
Arguably the standout name from a 29-man strong group has to be Ainsley Maitland-Niles on his return to the Southampton matchday squad against Tottenham Hotspur after missing the goalless draw against Manchester United as well as the 2-0 home defeat by Brentford because of injury.
With both of the Saints' central defenders withdrawn in the first-half, it meant the Gunners' loanee was afforded an opportunity to showcase his versatility by partnering Mohammed Salisu after replacing Jan Bednarek. In truth, the 25-year-old could have done better for Harry Kane's goal which restored the visitors' lead, but ultimately he would have the last laugh.
