IN DETAIL: Arsenal defender Saliba's superb debut night stats

Arsenal defender William Saliba produced outstanding statistics for his Premier League debut on Friday night.

For victory at Crystal Palace, Saliba's lack of experience didn't tell as the centre-half claimed the Man of the Match award with his stats highlighting his accomplished display.

Arsenal kept a clean sheet at Selhurst Park as Saliba won all of his aerial duels while having a 94 per cent pass accuracy.

He recovered the ball seven times and made six clearances.

He also ensured none of his opponents dribbled past them, despite coming up against the likes of Wilfried Zaha and Eberechi Eze. It was a great start to life in the Premier League.
