The Arsenal midfielder had a memorable match to hold off Man City at the Etihad.
In the recent draw between Arsenal and Manchester City, fans paid special attention to the performance of young midfielder William Saliba.
The French star was absent during the Gunners’ sprint period last season due to injury. This is considered an important reason why they lost the opportunity to win the championship to The Citizens.
However, this season, when Saliba is in stable physical condition, everything seems to be on track.
The young French star has become a major obstacle for any attacking star on Man City’s side.
Whether it’s Phil Foden, Kevin de Bruyne or Erling Haaland, Saliba always knows how to contain them.
Even when he had a head problem after a collision with Haaland, he still maintained the necessary concentration.
Saliba’s presence has made an important contribution to helping Arsenal keep a clean sheet against the stormy attacks created by the home team.
According to Sofa Score, the French player won absolutely in hand-to-hand duels on the ground, making 3 tackles and clearing the ball 5 times.
He topped every parameter from touches, successful passes to tackles. With his excellent performance, Saliba was voted the best player in the match.
Arsenal at the present time not only attacks well, but when needed, they are also ready to play defense with the fulcrum being the duo Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes
