Arsenal Pair Shine for Switzerland

Arsenal fans would have taken a keen interest in Switzerland’s friendly against a powerful Italian side, because the Swiss centre back pairing was Gunners through and through.

Philippe Senderos and Johan Djourou played a major part in their side’s 1-1 draw against world class opposition, impressing with their composure, positional sense and distribution – even towards the end of the match, when the challenges of some of the Italians reflected their growing frustration and illustrated some of the more cynical aspects of their game.
