If there is a defensive duo that excludes Haaland, it is Arsenal's!
Three games, anemic presence. Tackles that "choked" him, mind teasing and effective defense. Arsenal managed once again in a match against Manchester City to... eliminate Haaland and Gabriel and Saliba are credited with the amazing performances against Viking!

The "gunners" achieved their goal on Sunday afternoon and left the blue side of Manchester behind them on the table. Yes, they remained at -2 from the pioneer Liverpool, but they managed to get what they sought for one more match against the "citizens".
Mikel Arteta is showing that he now has a way of giving Pep Guardiola a hard time after learning from him during his time at City. And much more, Gabriel and Saliba have found a way to completely neutralize Erling Haaland!
Both in the Community Shield match last August, when Arsenal then won the title, as well as in the victory (1-0) in the first round, the duo of stoppers of the Londoners "extinguished" the Viking. And the same thing happened at the Etihad on March 31st!
Haaland's record in three matches this year against Arsenal: 0 goals, 0 finals on target! Arsenal have done it!
