Arsene Wenger was hailed the performance of Sead Kolasinac's home debut for victory over Benfica in the Emirates Cup.
The Gunners thrashed Benfica 5-2 as Theo Walcott on a brace, Alex Iwobi And Sead Kolasinac on target.
On Kolasinac, Wenger said: "I think he has gone, in pre-season, from strength to strength. He started a bit nervous, but every single week he moved his level up and in the last game was already good and today again I think he was influential as well. The first two goals came from him. He looks powerful and the timing of his availability going forward was very good."
On Reiss Nelson, he added: "He's a young player of our academy and he had an encouraging pre-season and he has shown that he can dribble, he can pass people, he is not fazed by the occasion and he looks confident. Of course it's good for him, the confidence level that he can play in these kind of games."
