Amidst chants from the Wolverhampton Wanderers supporters, Arsenal defender Ben White, proved his calibre on the pitch during their Saturday night triumph, as The Gunners sailed to the top of the table with a 2-0 victory at Molineux.

Playing the full 90 minutes of the game, the English international attracted a fair share of sledges from the opponent's supporters, including a second-half rendition of «Ben White, your fake tan is s***e», which echoed around the stadium.

Despite the taunts, the defender merely smiled and applauded the crowd — a befitting response from the former Brighton and Hove Albion man, who was part of a defence that kept Arsenal's sixth away clean sheet in a row in the Premier League.

The Gunners went into the match against Wolves off the back of two disappointing defeats against Aston Villa and Bayern Munich. But Arsenal showcased their resilience in the West Midlands and clutched onto a well-fought victory.

A sliced goal by Leandro Trossard in the first half gave Arsenal the lead while Martin Odegaard confirmed the win in additional time. Although Arsenal stayed dominant in the second half, they were indebted to an exceptional save by goalkeeper David Raya in the first half, when he tipped a powerful Joao Gomes shot onto the crossbar, in what may have been a pivotal moment in the game.

Following the match, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta applauded Raya and his squad for their determined display that saw them seal the victory. The Arsenal manager said: «I'm really happy. Obviously, the game tests you.
