Confidence and passion, two telltale signs of a top-quality defender.
White even showed a touch of class in his post-match interview with Sky Sports after being named the Man of the Match.
When asked how Arsenal reacted to Xhaka's red card, he said: "Trying not to concede. It’s hard enough to come here with eleven men and to get one sent off straight away is not good but absolutely superb from everyone today.
"It’s not easy at all especially against a team like Liverpool, it’s tough. You have to concentrate the whole game and a bit of luck we had and the result was well deserved I think."
White was then questioned on what it was like defending in such harsh conditions, to which he honestly replied: "Yeah, that was terrible. "It’s nice to defend like that as a defender and to keep the clean sheet and go home with a point in the next game."
