William Saliba's Arsenal debut came three years after he signed for the club - and he was so impressive it saw him compared to former Manchester United man Rio Ferdinand.
The French defender was highly-rated when he initially signed for the Gunners, but Mikel Arteta seemed unconvinced and the centre-half has spent several seasons back in France on loan. Saliba was finally given his first Premier League start in his side's opening day win at Crystal Palace.
His lack of experience didn't tell as the centre-half claimed the Man of the Match award with his impressive stats highlighting his accomplished display. Arsenal kept a clean sheet at Selhurst Park as Saliba won all of his aerial duals whilst having a 94 per cent pass accuracy.
