Jamie Carragher has dismissed the 'myth' around Arsenal's defensive struggles after their Premier League title challenge was all but ended on Sunday.
Needing to respond to Man City's win at Everton, the Gunners turned in arguably their most abject display of the season at home to Brighton. Mikel Arteta's team were beaten 3-0, meaning City just need one win from their final three games to be crowned champions - having trailed their rivals by nine points at one stage.
Many have cited the injury to Saliba, whose season was ended in March when he was forced off with a back injury in Arsenal's Europa League clash with Sporting Lisbon, as a major turning point. The Frenchman had previously been in outstanding form for his side, with his partnership with fellow centre-back Gabriel integral to Arteta's side charge to the top of the table.
