“He’s a very versatile footballer, he reminds me of Fabregas whenever he touches the ball, I’ll help him to become one of the best players in the world”- Arsenal Boss Mikel Arteta hails’magical’ star who astonished him with a fantastic performance last night. Not Jorginho, Saka, or Martinelli.
Arsenal’s Ben White emerged as a standout player in the recent 3-1 Premier League triumph over Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium. Despite entering the game with a two-game winning streak, the Gunners faced an evenly poised first half, with Bukayo Saka initiating the scoring for the London side. However, a mistake by William Saliba led to an own goal by Gabriel, leaving the teams tied at halftime.
Despite Liverpool’s strong start in the second half, Arsenal managed to regain the lead due to a mistake by Virgil van Dijk and Alisson. This error allowed Gabriel Martinelli to capitalize and score into an empty net, putting Arsenal ahead once again. The victory was secured in stoppage time when Leandro Trossard’s shot, deflected off Alisson’s legs, sealed the game.
While midfielders Jorginho and Declan Rice received accolades for their performances, Ben White, valued at €55 million, was arguably the unsung hero of the match. White’s exceptional performance included winning eight out of nine duels and maintaining a 100% success rate in aerial duels against the league leaders.
Arsenal’s dominance in the game, coupled with White’s noteworthy contributions, marked a significant victory for the team. The blend of skillful play and opportunistic goals ultimately led the Gunners to secure a well-deserved win against a formidable opponent.
