Nicolas Pepe caught the eye recently with his form for the Ivory Coast.
The Arsenal winger did well to win a penalty for his country during their meeting with Niger.
Keen to put his Arsenal misery behind him, Pepe was direct in his running and did well to draw the challenge.
After seeing the clip, these Arsenal fans think they know exactly who to blame for not seeing this kind of form at the Emirates.
Twitter: @afcDW He’s so direct when playing for his country. Just seems to go backwards and sideways when he plays with Arsenal. (@keagz9)

It’s good to see Pepe showing some confidence for his country. He needs a good run of form to get back up to his best.
He has started to show the early signs of that at Arsenal, but now is just lacking the consistency that comes with such a price tag.
Performances like this will help him and a goal or two along the way will really boost his confidence, with Arsenal yet to really see the player at his best after joining from Lille.
