Kept Neymar quiet - was tracking him further up the pitch as well but always had an eye on getting back into that defensive three.
Agree with the comment above - if Clyne was fit and playing then you would seriously consider that Gomez and Matip would be our centre-halves.
I'd have no problems at all with that.
IMO the sooner he starts regularly at CB, the sooner we will see the player we all hope/think he can be.
Inevitably, he will make mistakes, but young players do that, especially in defense.
I didn't see the match, but great to read he did well.
The sky's the limit for him if he can carry on his progression.
