Elneny continues to earn wave review over 'incredible' 20-second cameo v West Ham

Mohamed Elneny has been applauded for his brief cameo for Arsenal on Boxing Day against West Ham.

The midfielder has gone viral over recent days after people picked up on his incredibly short run-out during the win over West Ham.

Arsenal were 3-1 up when manager Mikel Arteta decided to bring him on for Thomas Partey. It was so late that Elneny didn't manage to touch the ball before the final whistle.

The video shows him coming onto the pitch and receiving applause from the crowd, running around a bit and failing to touch the ball before the final whistle blows.

The clip went viral and was uploaded to YouTube with the title “Mohamed Elneny – Incredible Midfield Cameo | Next Pirlo? | 1080p”.

Real Madrid midfielder Ceballos, who previously played with Elneny during a loan spell at Arsenal, felt obliged to defend Elneny on social media after the video went viral.

“Incredible professional, incredible teammate. [Need] More players like that in football. A luxury player for the Arsenal,” he wrote.

Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah all scored during the game to give Arsenal the three points and extend their lead at the top of the table.
