Arsenal delivered a stunning 5-1 victory over reigning Premier League champions Manchester City on Sunday, but club legend Tony Adams was left frustrated with one player—William Saliba.
The Gunners put on a dominant display at the Emirates, taking the lead within two minutes through captain Martin Ødegaard. City responded in the second half, with Erling Haaland leveling the score in the 55th minute. However, Arsenal hit back instantly as Thomas Partey restored their advantage, before Myles Lewis-Skelly, Kai Havertz, and Ethan Nwaneri sealed a memorable win for Mikel Arteta’s side.
While Adams was thrilled with the performance, he expressed disappointment over Saliba’s role in City’s only goal, which saw Haaland rise above him to score with a header. Speaking on Premier League Productions, the former Arsenal captain contrasted Saliba’s defending with that of his centre-back partner Gabriel.
