Shearer heaps praise on 'warrior' Guendouzi after Arsenal win

Alan Shearer has heaped praise on Matteo Guendouzi after Arsenal's win over Aston Villa.

England legend Shearer says Guendouzi was a "warrior" in midfield with his team down to 10 men.

On Match of the Day, he said: "When you consider they went down to 10 men, the change in attitude was incredible.

"Guendouzi was magnificent in the second half, they needed a warrior and he stood up.

"We've questioned Arsenal's character enough time and we've got to give them praise. What a performance in the second half."
