Arsenal legend tells William Saliba how to stop Manchester City's Erling Haaland

Who can stop Erling Haaland? The Manchester City striker continued his freakish record in front of goal, scoring in the 4-0 win over Southampton, making it 20 goals in 12 games across all competitions.

It's only October, but Haaland already has four more league goals than Arsenal's top scorer in the Premier League last season. The Norwegian was set to face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on October 19, but the game was postponed last month due to the Gunners' Europa League commitments and an unprecedented fixture pile-up.

Haaland has claimed a goal contribution in every game he's played in a City shirt, meaning that every defence he's come up against have failed in their attempts to stop him. If anybody is going to stop Haaland, it might just be William Saliba, who has arguably been the best defender in the Premier League so far this season.
