Jamie Carragher warns Arsenal’s rivals after Chelsea victory

Jamie Carragher believes Arsenal’s defensive strength could prove decisive in the Premier League title race after their 2-1 comeback win over Chelsea. The Gunners maintained their perfect start to the campaign despite playing without William Saliba, widely regarded as one of the division’s finest defenders.

According to Evening Standard, Carragher was impressed by Arsenal’s ability to restrict Chelsea to mainly long-range efforts, with David Raya making one outstanding late save to deny Estevao. Ezri Konsa also impressed on his full debut, further highlighting Arsenal’s defensive depth. Carragher believes Saliba’s eventual return could make Arteta’s side even harder to beat.
