Arsenal, after the early retention of possession, had found their breath.
And at the centre of it all, like he usually was, Izan.
He played like he could see the game in layers, never rushing and always aware.
When Rice collected deep and looked unsure, Izan was already dropping into space between the lines, calling for it.
When he received the ball, he didn't just control it, turning his shoulder instead, glancing up, and guiding play like a conductor easing into a symphony.
"Arsenal have started to find their flow here," the commentator observed.
"And it's Izan, everything seems to be going through him, much more than usual today."
And a few seconds later, he proved why it was such.
He shifted past Enzo, flicking a disguised pass into Ødegaard, who turned it first time to Saka on the right.
