Bukayo Saka was probably the most impressive player on Arsenal’s side in the match against Bournemouth that just ended not long ago. The English player, with his technical and speedy dribbles, made it difficult for Bournemouth’s defense to track him, thereby creating many opportunities for him to stir up the right wing.
It was Saka who opened the victory for the “Gunners” with the opening goal on the penalty spot in the last minutes of the first half, thereby helping the striker break many previous records. Specifically, the opening goal helped Saka become the first player to reach 20 goals in all competitions for Arsenal since former striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang did this with 29 goals in the 2019/2020 season.
Not stopping there, the striker number 7 on the Arsenal side also became the first English player to score 20 goals or more in the “Gunners” shirt, the first person to do this was a fellow striker. According to Walcot when he scored 21 goals in the 2012/2013 season.
At the Emirates home field, Arsenal quickly showed their strength with dangerous shots against visiting team Bournemouth. The London team completely controlled the match and got the opening goal after Saka’s goal on the penalty spot in the last minutes of the first half. Entering the second half, Arsenal continued to show superiority with two goals from Trossard and Declan Rice, thereby closing out the final victory with a score of 3-0.
The 3 points helped Mikel Arteta’s team secure first place with 83 points, 4 points more than the team behind Man City despite having played 2 more matches than their opponent. Man City will welcome Wolves at home tonight ( 4/5) and certainly Pep Guardiola’s army will have certain pressure before Arsenal’s sublimation.
