Mikel Arteta’s men have been playing great football this season and have only suffered one defeat. In September, points were lost on the road to Manchester United, and despite that, the “Gunners” did not know about the defeat, but celebrated against all their rivals in the Premier League and the Europa League.
Over the weekend, they beat the debtor from last season, Tottenham, with a score of 3:1. The triumph against the city rival also caused reactions from the legendary Liverpool football player Jamie Carragher.
– After the events of last season, it was expected that Tottenham would be in this situation. However, the Arsenal players played brilliantly, deservedly won and remained in the leading position – emphasized Carragher.
Often, the Spanish expert said that Arsenal is in the process of creating a new team and for many it seemed like an alibi story, but now all the good decisions of the Gunners in the past seasons are coming to light.
They returned to their “roots” and Wenger’s approach, the team is full of young players who play very attractive and organized football. Captain Odegaard, Martinelli, Saka, Gabriel, Ramsdale, Xhaka and White are already at the club and were expected to put in notable performances. Two players who completely “exploded” this season are Gabriel Jesus and William Saliba.
The Brazilian forward arrived from Manchester City this summer and has already won the hearts of Arsenal fans with his goals. With the goal in the North London derby, Jesus became the top scorer for the fifth time in the Premier League so far, and he also has three assists.
The French defender only got a significant role in the Emirates team this season and made the most of it. He is one of Arteta’s most standard players, in addition to his safe defensive play, he also contributed to the team with two goals and an assist.
It was the two of them that Carragher singled out as the most responsible for Arsenal’s results this season.
– The two biggest reinforcements for this team are Saliba and Jesus. They took Arsenal’s complete game to a higher level – the former England international finished.
The good games of the young defender were also noticed by the club’s management, and they have already started negotiations regarding the extension of cooperation with Salib.
