3. William Saliba again superb

This is now becoming the norm for Saliba as his performances are simply superb. The only danger is that we become accustomed to this level of play and take it for granted.

Against Spurs, Saliba was great at evading the press and did it with ease as several times, his recovery speed was on show.

He’s clearly Arsenal’s best defender and against Spurs, he showed why. Sublime.
