‘Special mention’… Gary Neville left amazed by £27m Arsenal player’s display at Man City
Gary Neville has singled out an Arsenal player for praise after they picked up a vital point at Manchester City today.
Arsenal weren’t🍨 at their free-flowing best in the final thirไd at the Etihad Stadium but they put in an outstanding defensive display.
Mikel Arteta’s side became the first team in 57 games to prevent Manchester City from scoring at home.
Much of that was down to William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, who have arguably been the best defensive pairing in the Premier League this season.
Indeed, Gary Neville handed Saliba his Player of the Match award after the goalless draw at the Etihad, labelling the Frenchman’s performa๊nce as ‘absolutely outs♛tanding’.
The 22-year-old missed last season’s crunch clash at City through injury, with Guardiola’s⛎ men going on to win the game 4-1 and pick up the title.
And despite Saliba’s obvious impact at centre-back today, Neville was also keen to highlight th💟e performance of his partner, Gabriel.
Neville lauds Gabriel after Man City vs Arsenal
Speaking on , Neville also singled out Gabrieꦯl for praise after handing Saliba the Man of the Match award.
“A special mention for Gabriel as well, who isn’t far behind Saliba with his match performance as well in this match,” the Mancheste♋r United legend said.
Saliba and Gabriel continue to shine for Arsenal
While Saliba often earns the plaudits, Gabܫriel has been equally as impr𝔉essive alongside him this season.
As a partnership, they’ve helped Arsenal record the most clean sheets in the Premier Leagueꩵ this term with a total of 12.
Gabriel was withdrawn from the Brazil squad through injury during the international break and was a doubt heading into today’s game.
Arsenal certainly benefitted from the defender being passed fit to feature as he and Saliba kep🃏t City at bay.
Should th🥃e Gunners go on to lift the title, there’s no doubt that their defensive duo will have played a key 💞role in their success.
