#2 Defensive bedrock: Ben Foster
Match: Arsenal vs. West Bromwich Albion
Trending
Ben Foster kept out Arsenal for most of the game through superb saves, including a double from Alex Iwobi and Alexis Sanchez. If Brom had managed to nick a point from the outing, Foster would have to be the man Pulis owed it to, more than anyone else.
The visitors’ goalkeeper was exceptional throughout, denying Sanchez thrice during the course of the game besides keeping out shots from Iwobi, Giroud and Aaron Ramsey. He was watchful and attentive as Arsenal’s attack came in waves and from all angles and places.
There was nothing the Englishman could do about Giroud’s glanced curling header which kissed the top corner of the net; West Brom certainly owe their keeper big-time, for keeping them in the game right until the very end.
Honourable mentions: Ben Mee (vs. Middlesbrough), Ashley Williams (vs. Leicester), Gary Cahill (vs. Bournemouth), Bacary Sagna (vs. Hull City)
