Arsenal: Fans lavish Rob Holding with praise after statistic emerges

Some Arsenal fans were lavishing Rob Holding with praise after a statistic emerged showing how fruitful his partnership with Gabriel Magalhaes is proving to be.

The Emirates Stadium giants have won all four games the pair have started together, conceding just a solitary goal.

When Gabriel Magalhães and Rob Holding started together this season: (all comps)

Played: 4
Won: 4
Goals conceded: 1

Solid pairing.

It proves to be an even more impressive stat when you look at the calibre of opposition the duo have faced when starting together.

Two of the four games have been away at home against the ‘big six’ duo Liverpool and Manchester United, showing the incredible level of performance from the two men.

The summer signing from Lille was showered with praise following his performance against the Red Devils yesterday with Jamie Redknapp claiming the Brazilian is the ‘real deal’ and a ‘leader’ (football.london via Sky Sports).

Holding was also on the end of praise with manager Mikel Arteta claiming the Englishman put himself on the line after it emerged the former Bolton defender only trained once in the build-up to yesterday’s fixture.

Fans were full of praise for the £2m acquisition after the stat emerged:

Holding is a very underrated player. Not spectacular but very solid. A defenders defender.

With Holding, he does the basics well, doesn’t have the distributive flair like Luiz, but a very tidy job. I can’t wait to see Chambers back in action. That will be Gold.

Holding was so solid today. I only thought he was abit shaky against teams like Liverpool and Man City but today he was class
