'He deserved it': Saka shares what he did to Holding after Palace game

Rob Holding, also known as Roberto Holdini or Holdinho in some circles, put in an immaculate performance against Crystal Palace. So did Bukayo Saka, who won the official Man of the Match award for his two goals and an assist.

Speaking of the defender post-match, the younger Englishman said: "I gave him a big hug when he came into the changing room because he deserves it.

"He was magnificent. We need that, you know, when he’s coming in to stay at the level that we’ve been playing.

"He was unbelievable today, so credit to him."

The Palace game saw Holding get his first Premier League start this season. And while Arsenal did not keep a clean sheet, Rob was massive, making five clearances and winning 11 duels.
