William Saliba has played more than a century of matches in an Arsenal shirt and, in all of those hours of action against all of those different opponents, he has never looked as deeply uncomfortable as he did against Alexander Isak on Wednesday night.

Then, to make matters worse, Arsenal lost to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, and it was a poor performance by many of the Gunners’ key players. Kai Havertz was criticised after the game, and speaking on the BBC Radio Five Live Football Daily Podcast, Matt Upson has singled out another player for criticism.
