Kieran Gibbs finally did a lot with an ‘audition’ against Tottenham. He saved the game for the Gunners by heading a ball off the goal line literally as soon as it hit the line. Not only that but he put in a solid day, putting up 4 tackles, 3 interceptions and 3 clearances.

More is going to be required to steal the job from Monreal, however. The Spaniard is far too consistent to give in to a flash in the pan from Gibbs. While Gibbs superior pace may be more desirable to put up against this speedy Fox attack, Monreal has the composure to hold down the fort.

Mathieu Debuchy had a decent enough game as well. He had a few slip ups but nothing drastic. Debuchy has made it more apparent than most that he will be fighting for a starting spot.

But then there is Hector Bellerin. Until the young full back messes up, Debuchy is helpless to make a play at his position. Bellerin will start in the Premier League.
