WILLIAM SALIBA was at a huge disadvantage in Arsenal's clash with Manchester City.<\/strong><\/p>\n The French defender starred in defence for the Gunners as they claimed a dramatic 1-0 victory over the champions.<\/p>\n Saliba won all of his duels and did not commit a single foul during the match.<\/p>\n He was also not dribbled past at all and finished the match with a 97 per cent passing accuracy.<\/p>\n His performance has been made to look even more impressive with the news he played through the pain barrier at the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n According to Saber Desfarges, Saliba needed an injection on order to play due to a toe injury.<\/p>\n The injury has even forced him to withdraw from the latest France squad.<\/p>\n Reacting to the news of Saliba's injury, one Arsenal fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "Nah, this guy is something else. We actually have monsters back at our club."<\/p>\n Another added: "Pocketed Haaland on his deathbed."<\/p>\n A third supporter also commented: "He\u2019s such a machine man f***ing hell."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Meanwhile, one more wrote: "Worth it! What a soldier he was."<\/p>\n Saliba had been included in Didier Deschamps' squad for the upcoming matches against the Netherlands and Scotland.<\/p>\n However, he will now remain with Arsenal during the international break, with Jean-Clair Todibo called up to replace him.<\/p>\n The Gunners will hope to have him back fit for their trip to Chelsea on October 21.<\/p>\n Sunday's win saw Arsenal move above City into second place thanks to Gabriel Martinelli's deflected strike.<\/p>\n There were heated scenes at full-time, though, with Kyle Walker and Erling Haaland clashing with members of the home side's backroom staff.<\/p>\n Footage from the end of the match showed the confrontation as the City players headed down the tunnel.<\/p>\n Walker appeared to react angrily after Arsenal set-piece coach Nicolas Jover had tried to shake his hand.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
