Arsenal defender Ben White played a crucial role as the Gunners secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Brentford in the Premier League clаsh at Emirates Stadium. Despite Arsenal’s strong form heading into the match, it was a challenging game, and White emerged as an unsung hero.

In the 19th minute, White provided an excellent cross that led to Declan Rice’s headed goal, giving Arsenal the initial lead. However, a mistake by goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale allowed Brentford to equalize just before halftime. In the second half, White redeemed himself with two exceptional saves, denying Ivan Toney and Nathan Collins with impressive fingertip interventions.

The decisive moment came in the 86th minute when Kai Havertz secured the victory for Arsenal, courtesy of another brilliant delivery from White. Alongside his two assists, White showcased his passing accuracy by completing 63 out of 71 attempted passes, a remarkable 89% success rate.

Throughout the match, White displayed his attacking prowess with overlapping runs, constantly posing a threаt to Brentford’s defense. His overall contribution included 84 touches on the ball, highlighting his active involvement in Arsenal’s gameplay.

Undoubtedly, White was the standout performer for the Gunners, as he not only created the opportunities for both goals but also showcased his versatility by seamlessly transitioning into a midfield role when needed. With four goal contributions in his last five league games, White has been in excellent form and has made a significant impact on Arsenal’s recent success.

Although he may have been an unsung hero in the match, Arsenal fans will undoubtedly be delighted with White’s current performances and his ability to step up in the absence of injured players like Oleksandr Zinchenko.
