What Ben White did to Mason Mount and Martin Odegaard as Arsenal defeated Chelsea

Ben White has enjoyed an impressive season for Arsenal, leading to suggestions that the former Brighton star should be selected in Gareth Southgate's England squad for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.

Signed from the Seagulls in a deal thought to be worth £50 million, White has excelled in a full-back position this season after featuring at centre-back for the majority of the previous campaign.

Whilst allowing Bukayo Saka to thrive on the right-hand side with added defensive protection, White has also demonstrated a technically-impressive side to his game.

He proved as much in the Gunners' 1-0 derby day triumph over Chelsea when executing a superb piece of skill to beat international teammate Mason Mount with a nutmeg.

Arsenal supporters have since been raving over the piece of skill in the aftermath of their Stamford Bridge triumph.

However, the 25-year-old has also gone viral for his, somewhat comedic, role in the celebrations that followed Gabriel's 63rd-minute winner.

Footage captured from the away end showed White unintentionally kicking a ball directly at the head of captain Martin Odegaard, taking the Norwegian by surprise.

Having secured another memorable win in their unexpected pursuit of Premier League glory, White's actions will have, undoubtedly, provided supporters with further enjoyment.
