Ten minutes upon resumption, Kamada picked up a pass on the edge of the box and unleashed a left-footed drive into the bottom of Arsenal’s goal. Then in the 64th minute, the 23-year-old picked up a corner kick clearance and with his right foot this time, lashed the ball into the net to complete Frankfurt’s comeback.

Sky Sports picked Kamada as the Man of the Match, awarding him the joint highest rating of “8”, along with Martin Hinteregger. The Daily Mail awarded the Japan international the highest “8”.
