Arsenal had a number of standout performers during Sunday's 2-1 win over Manchester City to reach the FA Cup final.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was fantastic (again) at right-wing back in a 3-4-3 formation, while Gabriel produced one of his best displays for the Gunners since joining in 2015.

"I've given Gabriel stick in the past because he has looked out of sorts at times, like a scared rabbit," Ian Wright said after the game. "But today he was brilliant, he was fantastic."

One player fans were particularly impressed with, though, was Rob Holding.

Starting only his 11th game of the season alongside Laurent Koscielny, the 21-year-old was magnificent at Wembley and coped well with City's attacking players.

And he could have been the hero, too, when he rose highest to meet Mesut Ozil's corner in extra-time but headed over the bar.

In truth, Holding should have at least found the target, but it's all a learning curve.

There was one moment in the game that perfectly captured not only Holding's solid performance against City, but his vast potential.

In the 67th minute, Vincent Kompany played a long ball over Arsenal's defence for Holding and Sergio Aguero to chase after.

Incredibly, Holding outpaced Aguero to reach the ball first, before performing a neat turn to get away from the Argentina international.

Aguero then chased after Holding but, again, the Englishman fooled him with another trick, this time using quick feet to dribble past. He eventually won a throw-in.

Naturally, Arsenal fans loved how Holding showed up one of the world's best strikers, as you can see by the Twitter reaction below.

Wenger has known all along just how talented Holding is having sarcastically apologised for signing him instead of a £55 million-rated defender last summer.

"We have a whole team working on the strengthening of the team. I'm not the only one," Wenger said after the 0-0 draw with Leicester City in August.

"Unfortunately no one speaks about the performance of Rob Holding. You should be happy, he is English and 20 years old. I am sorry he didn't cost £55 million, so he can't be good.

"We don't speak about the performances anymore and I think that is not right."
