Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny was left delighted with his screamer in victory over Nurnberg.

Elneny came on at half-time, with the score 2-0 to the hosts, and had a sighter just off target seconds after the restart. Then Gabriel Jesus pulled one back, before Elneny equalised moments later, a right-foot rocket from fully 25-yards which set Arsenal on their way as they went on to claim a 5-3 victory.

He told the club's website: "It's what I love! I love to score from distance. It's what I work on every day in training. After every training, I work on it, when I finish training, I keep shooting from distance. Because I know shooting from distance can create a winning [scenario]. If the game is level and we need someone to shoot from outside, they can change the game sometimes. This is what I have to do, work on helping my team in every way."

Elneny also said: "I'm happy for the performance today, the lads, everyone just gave it 100 per cent. Unfortunately, we were losing 2-0 in the first half. Then in the second half everyone had to show a reaction, and this is what we were working on during training. Mikel told us we have to keep pushing ourselves to just improve in every detail. This is what we showed in the second half. We go and we put in a reaction, we flipped the result for us and it was impressive."
