Ben White made an immediate impact for new club Arsenal by making a goal saving block against London rivals Chelsea, in a pre-season friendly at the Emirates.
White's move from Brighton to the Gunners for £50 million was confirmed last week, after the 23-year-old enjoyed a standout season with the Seagulls which earned him a place in England's Euro 2020 squad.
Arsenal's primary issue last season was in attack; only Everton scored fewer goals of team that finished in the top half. However there is little doubt their new signing will help them improve them defensively.
White came on as a substitute during the 2-1 defeat to Thomas Tuchel's side and superbly blocked a goal bound shot from Hakim Ziyech.
Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno rushed out to meet the Blues forward after he'd been put through on goal by Christian Pulisic, but Ziyech easily skipped past him, leaving the Moroccan with a great opportunity to score.
Callum Chambers initially slowed him down which gave White the opportunity to make the block, however the new Gunners centre-back showed good a turn of pace throw himself at Ziyech's shot.
Chelsea won the game thanks to goals from Kai Havertz and Tammy Abraham either side of Granit Xhaka's header.
The Gunners will play north London rivals Tottenham in their final pre-season friendly on August 8.
They kick-off their Premier League campaign the following Friday against newly promoted Brentford.
