🤩 Saka shines across influential first half against Fulham | OneFootball

Arsenal's star boy is back with bang as the Gunners jumped to an early lead against fellow capital club Fulham at the Emirates.

Included in Mikel Arteta's XI for the first time since 14 March, Bukayo Saka's presence has been missed for the Premier League leaders, proven by his role in the opening goal in north London. 

The England winger did exceptionally well to sit Raúl Jiménez down on the playing surface before darting into the box by the endline before putting an inch-perfect ball across the face of Bernd Leno's goal for Viktor Gyökeres to tap home.

For the Swede, it was his 13th Premier League goal of the season as he continues to go from strength to strength, and can now boast 20 goals across all competitions in his first season at the club, alongside Erling Haaland and Igor Thiago as the only players to do so.

As for Saka, who now sits just one away from 50 Premier League assists, his role in the opener included the benefit of fine margins in the final action on the right-hand side of the Gunners' attack.

And just as fans would have hoped, the club icon got in on the goalscoring act himself when he made it two-nil in the 40th minute, with Arsenal looking on course for a massive three-point haul.
