‘Another stellar defensive display’: Some fans were in awe of the heroism on loan from 6-foot-5 Arsenal man today
Arsenal academy defender Zech Medley is currently on loan at Emirates Stadium, and today he won praise for an excellent goal performance.
The 20-year-old is currently at Kilmarnock, having joined the Scottish Premiership squad in February after being recalled from Gillingham.
Medley had been on loan to the League One squad since August and has moved north of the border to continue his development.

The 6-foot-5 center-back has made five appearances so far for Killie, and on Saturday he helped his current side record a 1-1 draw with Dundee United at Rugby Park.

Adrian Sporle opened the scoring for the visitors in the 18th minute, with Medley losing the ball deep in his half in preparation.
However, the Hale End ace made amends with a solid performance afterwards as well as the tying goal, scoring a corner kick in the 64th minute.
It was Medley’s first career goal, his team’s first in six games, and the draw ended an eight-game losing streak.
And many fans were happy with Medley’s efforts at the end of the match:
Unlucky not to take 3 points today. It was an absolute pleasure to be joined in the comments box with @ andymclaren7, another great guest of Killie TV. @BrowningsBakers MOTM was @ZechMedley, what a find he was, brilliant again today and deserved his goal. #WeareKillie #Killie pic.twitter.com/Xw5obm4Yen
