Dalot: These are the defenders' little goals

Hard-fought wins over Liverpool and Southampton have seen our back four shine following a difficult start to the season defensively.

Dalot, along with Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia, has visibly relished putting in the blocks and challenges, with high-fives, pats on the backs and celebrations between the defenders and goalkeeper David De Gea following each attack that is successfully repelled.

The scenes have brought to mind the way in which legendary Juventus and Italy pair Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini went about their defensive work and the 23-year-old /believes it’s a good way for the backline – no matter who the personnel is – to support each other.
