Jamie Redknapp has heaped praise upon Arsenal's midfield after their 1-1 draw with Manchester City today.
Arsenal were on top for much of the match at the Etihad Stadium, but could only pick up a point thanks to Laurent Koscielney's late equaliser.
Redknapp believes that the Gunners were good value for their point, highlighting their midfield's collective performance as the biggest positive of the day.
"Cazorla's been magnificent today. What I like about him is that he plays off both feet; you don't know which way this little man is going to go because he's so comfortable on both sides," Redknapp told Sky Sports News. "Arteta offers that nice bit of protection in front of the back four. He doesn't move too much. Alex Song did his best stuff going forward, but Arteta knows his strengths, sits in front of them and just patrols. He snuffs out a lot of danger that teams bring. "It's a real collective job that they're doing there." The result moved Arsenal up to fifth in the Premier League table while City are seventh, level on points with today's opponents.
