Richards praises Arsenal defensive duo

Former Premier League star Micah Richards was impressed by Arsenal duo William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes following the 2-2 Premier League draw against Manchester City.



The Gunners delivered a fantastic performance at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday and they looked on course for a victory before John Stones' late 98th equaliser for the Cityzens.

Arsenal did tremendously well until then, considering they were down to 10 men at the interval. Speaking after the game, Richards was impressed with what Saliba and Gabriel did.

He said: "Gabriel and Saliba were unbelievable. To defend like that for 45 minutes in the second half against the best team in the league is remarkable."

Arsenal are currently fourth in the league standings with 11 points, two behind Manchester City, who are positioned as the first place team.

The Gunners have registered seven points from away games at Aston Villa, Tottenham and City and they should be proud of their efforts.

Arsenal now face Southampton and Leicester City in the Premier League and have the chance to build momentum with successive wins.
