Arsenal icon Gilberto Silva has publicly issued his support to Gunners January signing Jakub Kiwior after a promising first Premier League start for the Poland international on Tuesday night.
Manager Mikel Arteta named Kiwior in his starting line-up for the visit of Chelsea at the Emirates in a game that Arsenal largely dominated and won convincingly by a scoreline of 3-1. A brace from Martin Odegaard and a 10th league goal of the season for Gabriel Jesus meant Noni Madueke's second-half strike for the Blues was little more than a consolation.
In truth, Kiwior's performance at the heart of the Arsenal defence was perhaps deserving of a clean sheet and the former Spezia star was not at fault for the goal the Gunners did concede.
