“He has been one of the most outstanding player in the Premier League this season and I’m really jealous of him”- Man United ex manager Sir Alex Ferguson picks FOUR Arsenal stars in his PL team of the week and says ONE of them is simply ‘unstoppable’- Not Saka, Not odegaard and not Martinelli.
Renowned Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer, celebrated for his prolific goal-scoring prowess, recently honored four Arsenal players in his Premier League Team of the Week. This recognition stems from their outstanding performance in a remarkable 6-0 victory over West Ham United.
During the weekend clash at the London Stadium, the Gunners showcased a masterclass, securing their fourth consecutive triumph with skill and determination. Despite a previous winless streak against their London rivals, Arsenal emphatically reversed their fortunes, leaving fans in awe of their dominance on the field.
Among the standout contributors, Shearer commended William Saliba and Ben White for their instrumental roles in defense. He also highlighted the dynamic performances of Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice, solidifying Arsenal’s claim to victory.
Rice’s stellar contribution, marked by two assists and a sensational long-range goal upon his return to the London Stadium, was particularly noteworthy. Shearer, in admiration, remarked, “Unstoppable against his former club, setting up two goals before scoring himself,” acknowledging Rice’s pivotal role in Arsenal’s resounding triumph.
After a challenging conclusion to 2023, Arsenal, fueled by a rejuvenated spirit following a warm-weather retreat in Dubai, experienced a remarkable turnaround. With 16 goals across their last four league victories, they now aim to sustain momentum as they face Vincent Kompany’s Burnley on Saturday.
Rice’s meteoric rise since departing from West Ham United has been extraordinary. Thriving as a midfield maestro, he has amassed four goals and five assists, showcasing versatility and valuable contributions to Arsenal’s midfield dominance. In the latest triumph, Rice demonstrated prowess with three goal contributions and an exceptional pass accuracy of 93 percent.
His adeptness in corner and set-piece situations, along with astute managerial decisions from Mikel Arteta, once again earned Arteta the title of Shearer’s Manager of the Week. As the Premier League season unfolds, Arsenal’s standout stars continue to captivate audiences worldwide, setting the stage for an exhilarating journey filled with anticipation and excitement.
