‘Brilliant’…Andy Townsend seriously impressed by £50m Arsenal man after seeing him v Brentford
Arsenal defender Ben White got himself two assists against Brentford today and Andy Townsend has lauded the England man.
White twice delivered brilliant crosses for both Declan Rice and Kai Havertz to nod home as Arsenal scored to late to spark dramatic scenes at The Emirates.
For the Gunners and Mikel Arteta, it was crucial they won ahead of Liverpool v City tomorrow and they got it over the line in the end, just.
Arsenal had Rice and Havertz to thank for the goals as we know. But White, who could earn a recall to the England squad next week, produced the two assists.
And speaking on Andy Townsend lauded the defender for producing when it mattered.
“Brilliant ball from Ben White. Kai Havertz just holds his position on the edge of the six-yard box and is begging Ben White to clip something up with a bit of quality and he does exactly that. It’s a great header, one he should score. He makes great contact, Flekken’s travelling back across and it beats him, and cue the mad scenes here at the Emirates,” Townsend .
Ben White is shining for Arsenal
Amid all the attacking talent the Gunners have and the players like Saliba and Gabriel who get plenty of praise, Ben White is going about his business nicely.
The signing from Brighton has really grown into his role from the full-back position and delivered today with two fine pieces of play.
White should really be in that England squad and whatever has gone before needs putting to bed really.
Arsenal fans have seen all season how good he can be and when it mattered today, in crucial moments, White produced the goods.
In terms of the season, this felt massive and if Arsenal win the title, White will look back on his role today and feel it was pivotal.
