Gareth Southgate delivers honest verdict on Arsenal star Ben White following England mistake

England boss Gareth Southgate has praised Arsenal defender Ben White for his performance during Saturday's 2-1 win over Switzerland at Wembley.

White joined the Gunners for a reported £50million over the summer, signing from Brighton after enjoying an impressive campaign with Graham Potter's side. He has since enjoyed an impressive few months in north London, registering 13 Premier League clean sheets already this season - more than any other English centre-half.

The 24-year-old's solid form was rewarded by Southgate, who named him in The Three Lions' squad for this month's friendlies against Switzerland and Ivory Coast. However, some argued that White was at fault against the Swiss, with the talented centre-back failing to deal with a cross that Breel Embolo eventually turned in form the opener.
