William Saliba kept goal-machine Erling Haaland quiet during Man City's trip to Arsenal and has yet to be dribbled past in this season... but is the Gunners star the BEST defender in the Premier League?

On Sunday afternoon, Manchester City star Erling Haaland was given a healthy reminder that he is, in fact, human.

The Norwegian striker, who netted 36 goals from 35 Premier League appearances last term, failed to muster a single shot on target during their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.

While many could suggest it was the absence of Kevin De Bruyne in the City line-up that caused Haaland to go missing, others would point to the work of William Saliba.

The Arsenal centre-half put in a truly dominant display as he marshalled Haaland throughout the match and helped the Gunners secure a clean sheet.
