ο»ΏFrance beat Italy 3-1 on the road on Sunday night to take first place in their Nations League group.
The game’s star player was Aston Villa’s Lucas Digne, who set up two goals and scored an own goal with a great free kick.
Arsenal star William Saliba had another good game in the back line. He was 92 percent accurate when he passed, and he hit three long balls.
The center defender won all of his duels and take-ons, and he also made three clearances and four recoveries.
Saliba only lost the ball five times, but no one was able to get past him during the game.
The player who cost Β£27 million will now go back to Arsenal to get ready for the busy holiday season.
The London giants play Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday to start their Premier League season again.
The Arsenal team needs to win this game because they are nine points behind the leaders, Liverpool, with 11 games played.
The back four, including Saliba, hasn’t kept a clean sheet in seven league games and needs to do better this weekend against Forest.
Just before the game, the club had a scare with Leandro Trossard’s injury. Yesterday, in the first half against Israel, the Belgian was taken off.
We should know more about the 29-year-old’s injury at Mikel Arteta’s press conference this week. He will be checked out when he gets back to London Colney.
Ben White, on the other hand, will definitely not be at the Forest game. After surgery for a knee problem, he might not be able to do anything for eight weeks.
There is some good news, though, about injuries. This week, Riccardo Calafiori and Takehiro Tomiyasu are likely to go back to exercise.
