Some Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Ben White against Norwich City.
Ben White stars for Arsenal v Norwich
White was in action for Arsenal in their Premier League game against Norwich away from home at Carrow Road on Sunday.
Arsenal won 5-0.
Former Leeds United loanee White is a centre-back by trade, but he was deployed at right-back on Boxing Day.
That’s because Calum Chambers, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Cedric and Takehiro Tomiyasu all have COVID-19.
Ben White has played as a right-back before on occasions, and it was there where he played against Norwich.
And the 24-year-old did well.
White, who joined Arsenal from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer of 2021, did well defensively and supported the attacking players as well.
There were a couple of moments in the second half when White made bad decisions, but that happens with all players really.
Nothing to be overly worried about.
White had a pass accuracy of 68.3%, won five headers, took 83 touches, attempted one dribble, and made three tackles, two interceptions and one clearance.
What was remarkable about White that he did not seem fazed at the idea of playing at right-back.
Yes, it was against a Norwich side who are likely to get relegated, but it was still a Premier League match.
In our view, White is showing what he is capable of, and being able to play so well at right-back will give manager Mikel Arteta a very good option.
