“The £50 Million Signature Shines Bright for Arsenal”

The English star had quite an impressive performance in Arsenal’s recent defeat over the weekend.

Last weekend, following Liverpool’s shocking loss to Crystal Palace, Arsenal promptly responded with a humiliating defeat to Aston Villa.

With their stellar form in 2024 and the home advantage, Arsenal was expected to easily secure a victory.

In reality, Arsenal didn’t play too poorly, but they squandered several golden opportunities they created in the first half.

Entering the second half, the Gunners were punished by two goals from the visitors and had to accept a 0-2 defeat overall.

Fair to say, there are some players who shouldn’t be held responsible for Arsenal’s loss, with Ben White being a prime example.

In his approximately 70 minutes on the field, Arsenal’s £50 million signing truly showcased a comprehensive performance, contributing significantly in both attacking and defensive aspects.

Stats from Fotmob show that despite not playing the full 90 minutes, Ben still had the most accurate tackles in the match (4).

Furthermore, he impressed with 2 key passes, 2 touches in the box, and 6 passes into the final third.

It can be said that Ben made no mistakes in any of Arsenal’s conceded goals. He also won 6 aerial duels, made 2 ball recoveries, 1 interception, and blocked 1 shot from Villa.

With a rating of 7.6, the English defender was the highest-rated player by Fotmob on the Arsenal side.
