The young defender was impressive despite his side’s loss to Liverpool.
Arsenal youngster Rob Holding managed to put in a solid display as his side were beaten by Liverpool this weekend.
The Gunners youngster was drafted in for his Premier League debut on Sunday afternoon as they hosted Jurgen Klopp’s side at the Emirates.
It did not prove to be a good afternoon for him and his side though as Liverpool ran riot to find themselves 4-1 up at one stage in the game.

The defence will come in for criticism in particular, but stats show Holding actually put in a solid display.
