Central defender Takehiro Tomiyasu, on the day of replacing William Saliba, had an impressive performance to help Arsenal win.

Arsenal had a minimal victory against Brentford in the third round of the Carabao Cup. Thereby, the “Gunners” will continue their journey when they encounter West Ham in the 4th round.

Temporarily put aside having to clash with tough opponents The Hammers. Last night, despite only launching the B squad, coach Mikel Arteta’s team still showed overwhelming control and attack compared to the home team.

However, the “Gunners” only got the only goal thanks to Reiss Nelson. The English player is also one of the best playing stars on the “Gunners” side with 3 passing situations and a series of impressive moves.

However, sometimes being too subjective causes Arsenal to often fall into dangerous balls that reach Aaron Ramsdale’s goal. However, defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is the one who makes fans feel secure when he is always present at the right time and place to relieve the situation.

Statistics from Sofascore show that the Japanese player owned 6 clearances and 3 recoveries. In addition, he is also the one who often gives command to help the “Gunners” defense stand firm against the home team’s attack.

Arranged to start as a right-sided centre-back, replacing William Saliba, after Ben White left the field to fill the right-back position, at the end of the match when Cedric came on the field, he moved back to the centre-back position.

Takehiro Tomiyasu’s great flexibility helps Mikel Arteta comfortably arrange personnel in defense.

The kimmoFC account made a video summarizing Tomiyasu’s performance and commented: “Along with Jorginho, I think Tomiyasu is Arsenal’s best player today. Strong in all aspects, both when playing CB and RB. Winning in Many duels and aerial battles, reads the game well, is aggressive, calm and passes the ball very well too.”

The fact that Takehiro Tomiyasu is regaining form gives Mikel Arteta more options for the central defender position in case the duo William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes cannot participate.
