Bukayo Saka, expressing joy and love for everyone, hinted at the need for one Arsenal player to improve and learn from the best. However, he clarified it wasn’t Jorginho, Timber, or Trossard.
In a thrilling Premier League clash, Arsenal, spearheaded by Saka, triumphed over West Ham with a 5-2 victory, securing their spot in second place. Saka played a key role, contributing to three of Arsenal’s goals scored by Gabriel, Leandro Trossard, and Martin Odegaard. Kai Havertz also added to the tally in what became Arsenal’s most significant league victory of the season. The game, held at the Olympic Stadium, saw all seven goals netted in a chaotic first half.
Following the international break, Arsenal continued their impressive form, having previously defeated Nottingham Forest 3-0 in the Premier League and Sporting Lisbon 5-1 in the Champions League. This hot streak coincided with the return of their captain, Martin Odegaard, who had been sidelined for two months due to an ankle injury. The win reduced Arsenal’s gap with Liverpool to just six points ahead of their home match against a struggling Manchester City on Sunday.
The explosive first half marked only the fourth instance since the Premier League’s inception in 1992 where seven goals were scored before halftime.
On a different note, Ruud van Nistelrooy, recently appointed as Leicester City’s manager, got a clear view of the uphill battle his team faces to retain their Premier League status.
