Lindelof continues to be brilliant for Manchester United

With every passing game, the Swede seems to be growing in stature. Against Arsenal, he had Eric Bailly for company, a player he has rarely played with in recent past, yet Lindelof ensured that it was hardly an issue. Bailly was instantly comfortable alongside a calm and composed partner and together, they frustrated the Arsenal attack throughout the game.

Lindelof was particularly impressive with his tackles and his awareness in his own box. He was unlucky for the goal because he had almost managed to stop the pass with his outstretched boot.

Yet, once the goal was conceded, he looked more determined than ever and every time Arsenal came up, Lindelof was a beast in the defence. He threw his body on the line, jumped the highest to clear the ball and he looked inspired to keep United's lead intact. In the end, Martial's goal ensured that his efforts bore fruit.

The Swede was also impressive yet again with his abilities on the ball, as he quickly initiated counters from the box at times, finding his forwards and helping them catch the Gunners defence off guard.
