Martin Keown has claimed Rob Holding lost his battle with Erling Haaland from the 'very first challenge' after the Man City striker played a crucial role in his side's 4-1 win over title rivals Arsenal.
Holding was making his sixth successive Premier League start for Arsenal, with the defender deputising for the injured William Saliba.
The 27-year-old became the latest defender to struggle against the Norwegian this season, with Haaland winning a physical battle in the opening minutes to assist Kevin De Bruyne for Man City's first goal.
Haaland assisted the Belgian again in the second half, before scoring the final goal in the 4-1 win.
