Pundit Gary Neville praised Arsenal following their draw with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Opinions are currently divided on who could have won.

Speaking to Sky Sports recently, Neville was full of praise for the Gunners. The former Premier League skipper shared his thoughts as follows:

‘I think [Arsenal] answered two big questions today. One is on their mentality. Could they live in a big game against Manchester City?

‘They folded here last year and they were all over the place, whereas today they withstood a lot of pressure and looked like a team that could go through a title challenge and have a lot more mental strength.

‘That’s a big question answered, because it’s difficult to come here.

‘The other one is on the defensive side of things. Last year, it was suggested that without Saliba they were harmed, and that’s been proven today.

‘Saliba was immense, there’s no doubt about that. So was Gabriel.

‘But for me, the work ethic of the two wide players and the two forwards was also incredible.’

The race continues, with title defenders City struggling to prove they deserve the trophy.
