Ben White delivered arguably his best performance yet in an Arsenal shirt as he helped us to a vital clean sheet at Anfield with 10 men.
Mikel Arteta has been delighted with the centre back's performances since his arrival from Brighton last summer, and says his attitude has made all the difference.
"He's just moved to our club and he's just been here just for a few months but he has something and he wants to do it," the manager said.
"He's very demanding with himself, he's really willing to learn and improve his game and he's in the right place.
"In terms of the qualities that I saw in him and what is required for us to try to recruit somebody like him with his qualities, it was clear. Then those personalities as well, that chemistry has to exist [between White and Gabriel].
"We can see they really enjoy playing together, you can see that, that chemistry is there and that's a massive extra when you are looking to build something at the back."
