Arsenal got a decent result against Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday.
Usually, Arsenal do well if they come away from the Etihad without some serious emotional scars, but on Sunday, they actually managed to come away with a point.
It wasn’t the best game we’ve ever seen, but it was an important point for Mikel Arteta’s side, and there were two Arsenal players in particular who were fantastic on the day.
Martin Odegaard praises two Arsenal players
Both Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba were fantastic against Manchester City.
Speaking to TNT Sports, Martin Odegaard was asked about the centre-back pairing, and he says that they’ve been incredible all season long, describing them as an ‘amazing’ partnership.
“They’re massive, they’ve been so good the whole season how they defend their box and how they fight and win their duels and all these things. It’s unbelievable. It’s something we do as a whole team, we defend together and we attack together, but yeah, they’ve been amazing,” Odegaard said.
Gabriel and Saliba may be the best in the league
There’s a real argument to make around who the best centre-back in the league is right now with the likes of Ruben Dias and Virgil van Dijk having strong cases to put forward.
However, when it comes to the best centre-back pairing in English football at the moment, it’s hard to look past Saliba and Gabriel.
The two Arsenal stars have been utterly incredible this season. The Gunners have the best defensive record in the Premier League for a reason, and it seems as though the Emirates is, once again, something of an impenetrable fortress at the moment.
It’s often said that goals win you games but clean sheets win you titles, and if Arsenal are to go on to win the Premier League this season, their incredible defensive record will be a testament to that ideology.
