'He's a different class': Saliba praised for heroics in Chelsea win

Explaining why he named William Saliba as Player of the Match, former Tottenham Hotspur man Jermaine Jenas told BT Sport: "Arsenal’s spine has been sensational today, from Gabriel Jesus to Thomas Partey.

"But I have to give it to Saliba because he’s really impressed me.

"He’s commanded things from the back and been assured on the ball. He’s different class, he’s been different gear all game really."

Saliba, like the rest of his teammates, fought hard to beat Chelsea to help the Gunners get to the top of the Premier League table.

With 16 starts to his name across competitions this term, Saliba has well and truly established himself as an undroppable player.
