Toure: we're all together

Kolo Toure has praised Arsenal and the defence for the excellent start they have made this season in the Premiership; whilst Toure also singled out French captain William Gallas for praise as they continue to sit pretty at the top of the Premiership.

"We are defending a lot better together than last season. That's the key," Toure said.

"It is a collective thing. In any team you have a maestro and at the moment William is doing that job. He is captain and is leading us really well.

"With all the experience he has got, we try and listen to him. He is 30, has played a lot of games and has won a lot of trophies as well, but the main thing is that we work together. We all try to help each other."
