Arsenal duo singled out for praise after 'masterclass' in huge derby win over Tottenham Gabriel and William Saliba have been lauded again after starring in Arsenal's huge victory over Tottenham in the north London derby.
The Gunners headed into Wednesday night's match knowing that they could cut the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to four points with a win, while a defeat would have given Arne Slot's men a massive chance to extend their lead given they have now played a game less than the Londoners.
While Gabriel and Saliba have earned plenty of praise this season following a string of imperious displays, Arsenal have struggled for goals recently following the loss of Bukayo Saka to injury.
It was Gabriel whose header deflected in off the unfortunate Dominic Solanke to restore parity for Arsenal before Leandro Trossard plundered their winner just minutes later.
But Arsenal showed tremendous character to record a deserved 2-1 victory at The Emirates after cancelling out Son Heung-min's opener with two quickfire goals.
