The result leaves Arsenal trailing league leaders Liverpool by two points, with Manchester City a further point behind in third place. Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Saliba admitted that the outcome was not what he had hoped for. He stated, “No, we cannot be satisfied when we draw, but it is okay.”

Saliba, who was named the man of the match, played a crucial role in keeping the reigning champions at bay. When asked about his performance alongside defensive partner Gabriel, the French youngster praised the Brazilian and credited the entire team for their defensive efforts. He said, “Yeah, I’m good because Gabriel is good. He helped me a lot. It’s not just him; the whole team runs back when we lose the ball. We defended well, and that’s a positive. We need to continue in the same vein.”

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard also commended Saliba’s display and acknowledged the team’s dependence on him during his ιnjury absence last season. Odegaard stated, “I think any team in the world would miss this guy. You can see his quality in defending and playing with the ball. He’s a complete player, and we’re fortunate to have him fit now. It was another brilliant performance from him today.”

Liverpool’s victory over Brighton earlier in the day propelled them into first place, surpassing Arsenal. With nine games remaining, Arsenal will host Luton on Wednesday night, while Manchester City will face Aston Villa at home. Liverpool will play Sheffield United at Anfield a day later.
