With the score in France’s favour in their Nations League clash with Denmark, Raphael Varane was forced off and Arsenal defender William Saliba came on for the experienced Manchester United man. By the time the game was over, Les Bleus had lost 2-1.
Arsenal fans had questions regarding Saliba’s involvement in the Danish turnaround. Those watching would have noticed him absolved of any blame on the equaliser, however, he was very much part of the 88th-minute winner.
Trabzonspor striker Andreas Cornelius was played in behind with a lofted ball. The physical Dane had beaten the offside trap and had a free run on Hugo Lloris’ goal. The speed from Saliba to catch the striker was very impressive. He got on the goal side of his man and attempted to usher him away from goal.
