International Watch: Arsenal Stars

Alex Iwobi & Supporter Lameda
Arsenal players were in action over the weekend during international period.
See how they are performing for their nations:

Alex Iwobi
Nigeria 3-1 Algeria - Saturday, November 12

Alex played 75 minutes, and thrilled the crowd with an audacious rainbow flick, as Nigeria secured an important World Cup qualifier win over Algeria in Uyo. Victor Moses and John Obi Mikel gave the Super Eagles a two-goal lead and, though Nabil Bentaleb gave Algeria hope midway through the second half, Moses wrapped up the win in second half stoppage time.

Mohamed Elneny
Egypt 2-0 Ghana - Sunday, November 13



Mohamed played the entirety of this important win in Borg El Arab. Mohamed Salah's penalty gave Egypt a first-half lead, before the same player set up Abdalla El Said to double the advantage late on.

Granit Xhaka
Switzerland 2-0 Faroe Islands - Sunday, November 13

Granit won his 50th senior international cap as Switzerland maintained their 100 per cent record at the top of their World Cup qualifying group with this home win. Eren Derdiyok opened the scoring after 27 minutes and captain Stephan Lichtsteiner secured the victory in the game's closing stages.

Nacho Monreal
Spain 4-0 Macedonia - Saturday, November 12
England v Spain - Tuesday, November 15

Spain's comfortable World Cup qualifier win over Macedonia will live long in Nacho's memory after he scored his first senior international goal. The full back calmly guided a volley into the far corner shortly before full-time. An own goal before half-time and a Vitolo goal just after the hour had put La Roja in control, with Aritz Aduriz completing the scoring late on.

Aaron Ramsey
Wales 1-1 Serbia - Saturday, November 12

Aaron played the entirety of Wales' frustrating World Cup qualifier draw against Serbia in Cardiff. Gareth Bale put Chris Coleman's side in front after half an hour, but Aleksandar Mitrovic's late header gave Serbia a precious point.

Laurent Koscielny, Olivier Giroud
France 2-1 Sweden - Friday, November 11
France v Ivory Coast - Tuesday, November 15

Laurent and Olivier completed 90 minutes as France came from behind to beat Sweden in their World Cup qualifier. Emil Forsberg gave the visitors a surprise lead before Paul Pogba and Dimitri Payet scored to turn the game around.

David Ospina
Colombia 0-0 Chile - Thursday, November 10
Colombia v Argentina - Tuesday, November 15

David kept a clean sheet in Colombia's 0-0 draw with Chile. The result ensured that Colombia remain third in their World Cup qualifying phase.

Shkodran Mustafi
San Marino 0-8 Germany - Friday, November 11
Italy v Germany - Tuesday, November 15

Shkodran was on the bench for Germany's comprehensive World Cup qualifying win over San Marino. Former Arsenal winger Serge Gnabry starred, marking his international debut with a hat-trick.
