Scores in win Armstrong scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) and won two-of-three tackles during Sunday's 3-0 win over Sheffield United.
Impact Armstrong does well to supplement his meager offensive touches with consistent defensive work, and this resulted in a good stat line for the Scot against a struggling team. He's now scored two goals and logged two assists in 10 starts, which already put him on track to surpass his records from last season as the knock-on effects of a strong team attack have provided more chances across the pitch. Up next is a match against Arsenal, which don't concede much production to midfielders but are also struggling to play well and could easily provide more opportunities for Armstrong to put up another big day.
