White praised for 'no-touch assist' in Arsenal's opener v West Ham — explained in 5 images

It was Declan Rice who assisted William Saliba in Arsenal's opening goal against West Ham. But it's also Ben White who deserves a lot of praise.

The right-back stood near the Hammers goalie, stopping him from moving to claim Rice's cross, thus allowing Saliba to win a header.

"The work in the box from White is a well executed dark arts move, we've missed players like that in our team for so long," one fan wrote on Reddit.

"Ben White shithousery again 😭," another joked. "Haha cheeky White blocking the GK," a third added.

"White with the no touch assist, that little bump on the keeper was perfect," another said.
