Arsenal hosted Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday and celebrated a 1-0 win as Gabriel Martinelli scored the only goal.

The Gunners head into international break with a win and are currently second in the league table with the same amount of points as Tottenham, who lead the league table.

Mikel Arteta’s side kept a clean sheet during their crucial game against City and William Saliba was added to Alan Shearer’s team of the week following his performance.

Declan Rice was also included in the TOTW.

Speaking on Saliba, Shearer said: “Brilliant performance. A commanding presence at the back as he kept Haaland and co quiet.”
