Mikel Merino News: Scores off bench

Merino (suspension) scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 3-2 defeat to Manchester United.

Merino was able to get enough contact on the ball in a scrum to put it past Man United's defenders and into the goal. We'll see if that leads to a bigger role Wednesday in Kairat in UCL play, especially since Arsenal might rotate the squad more with a condensed part of the schedule coming up.
