Oh man, he is just so good. It is crazy to see a striker with such authority because it feels like it has been so long since we’ve had a player of his quality.

Four goal contributions in this match were obviously massive but he just does so much outside of his output. He created for himself and his teammates, and it is awesome to see him having fun on the pitch.

If he keeps this up, he and the team are reaching new levels this season.

Negative #2: William Saliba’s OG

After a Man of the Match display against Crystal Palace last week, it was a solid performance again for Saliba that was unfortunately soured by an own goal to lose the clean sheet.

He was in a tough spot with Jamie Vardy lurking, and there was little he could do but turn the ball into his own net.

However, it was very cool to see the Emirates crowd give him a round of applause right after. A very awesome show of support of the young centre-back, who’s quickly emerged as a fan-favourite.
