ISAAN KHAN: Within seconds of the full-time whistle, Gabriel Heinze had lifted an elated Mikel Arteta off the turf. He knew why this result brought his colleague a certain catharsis.
Isaan Khan argues that Mikel Arteta may be assembling Arsenal's greatest-ever defense, potentially surpassing the 2003-04 Invincibles backline. The assessment comes after Arsenal secured their first Premier League victory at Anfield in 14 years, holding Liverpool to zero shots on target behind a goal from Kai Havertz.
Even without injured center-back William Saliba, Arsenal relied on £55 million signing Ezri Konsa alongside Gabriel, Riccardo Calafiori, and Jurrien Timber. Khan credits the backline's resilience to Arteta's structure and assistant Gabriel Heinze's demanding coaching since arriving in July 2025.
